Classes at the Conference
This last weekend I was teaching at the Ontario Handweavers and Spinners biannual conference. Here are pictures of the Nuno felting class. There where only 3 people in this class. It was a preconference class. The full conference started that evening with the workshops the next day.
Here they are putting the wool around the edges.
Then laying out the pattern.
Close up
Fixing a spot that didn’t take. We needled it down and gave it a little rubbing on both sides and it was all fixed.
Finished scarves
And the happy ladies with their scarves and a sample done on cotton that they had time to do at the end of class.
At the last minuet the needle felting teacher had to pull out with a family emergency so they asked me to fill in. I didn’t take any pictures of the process we only had 3 hours to complete a project so we really had to move. Here they are at the end, happy with their projects. Four sheep ( I supplied the legs so they would have time to complete them. ), one pincushion flower and a little person.
All in all it was a great time with lots of friendly people. I will share more about the conference in another post later.

Well done! Stepping into someone else’s shoes at short notice is no mean feat! 🙂
Thanks. It was a bit hairy getting things together and trying to think what they would do. Everyone was very understanding of the situation.
Well done indeed – two successful classes when you were only expecting one!
Thank you
Looks like they all had fun and learned something. I don’t know how you do much of anything in 3 hours especially on short notice. You go girl! 🙂
It was good and there wasn’t much time. I was surprised they got as much done as they did. they did rush. They where supposed to make felted flirts. I had no idea what that was so I brought several simple to make things and told them if they wanted to try something else I would help them with that. It went surprisingly well.
It looks like a lot of happy people 🙂
I bet you were exhausted after that!
I was tiered. Well my feet were anyway, it’s a really big place. The rooms and beds were really comfortable.
The scarves look gorgeous Ann and well done on doing the class on short notice and in a short amount of time, your a legend 🙂
Thanks Karen
