Carmen's Felting Workshop from the Scholarship Program

 
At the beginning....
Carmen lit a candle in memory of our past members.



There were at least 20 ladies in attendance.
Carmen explained the different types of materials used
that can be felted on or with.

Jennifer and Carmen demonstrating different effects made
 by wrapping and tying while dying your fabric.

Quite amazing and very interesting details!

This was a clamping process with wood and clamps then dyed!

This was folded, clamped and dyed.  Amazing outcome!

This piece was clamped and dyed!

Jennifer had taking the same workshop as Carmen in Penticton.

Some silk is easier to use depending on the weave.
You can even felt using cheese cloth.
