When we travel, many of us want to capture and retain the memory of a beautiful place, but find it challenging. A photo captures one 
moment, the light just then, and focuses upon a single image. Offering tours combined with workshops that allow people to explore more deeply the place around them is a passion of mine. At this time,I am offering 2 upcoming workshops that allow time to translate the place and stories into art- and no experience is required! This is the appeal of feltmaking- it is quite easy to learn, and one can paint with the fiber to create striking works of art.
I have recently finished several felted pieces that resonate with the landscapes of Irel
and and Scotland, as well as the place I live- the northwoods of Wisconsin and Lake Superior coast. These are examples of the type of feltmaking we will be doing in the upcoming workshops/tours.
