[Steppes] Fiber Arts Focused Collegium

[Lisa Duke]

Arabella here and I'll be there.

I am really interested in a "hands on" felting class, for mittens, slippers,
maybe hats, or anything else that would use felted wool.  Does anyone know
how to do this?  I've discovered I'm not to keen on spinning but I like
dying and maybe would like to felt.  Any teachers?  I can acquire a great
deal of wool I believe.

I will also try knitting again.  The last time I tried I got lost very
easily.  I had issues with being distracted and counting.  Maybe Morgan can
teach me tricks.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Garb is optional for this event. Please wear whatever you are comfortable
in.
There will be the usual potluck lunch. Please bring something to
contribute to the lunch. We request that you bring real food, not just
chips and dips. Suggestions might be sandwiches, cold meats, side dishes
such as slaw, salad, green bean salad, etc., maybe some chips or baked
beans (cold or in a crock pot), pickles and olives, deviled eggs, etc. Of
course, a dessert or two would be nice--a fruit platter is a light option
for dessert. Does that give you a few ideas?

Please note that this is NOT specifically targeted for either men or
women. It is for anyone with an interest in the fiber arts.
