Vessel Class
I taught a lovely and fun group of ladies how to make a vesel. One of the ladies made a really nice Instagram reel. I am going to try embedding it here. Fingers crossed. It was hosted here https://hookingoutsidethelines.com/ I will share stills of the finished vessels below it. If it doesn’t work, then try this link:

Here’s a group shot,
Here are some closer pictures of the vessels.
This one was cut across the circle about 1/8 of the way down to get the resist out, so she has a flat coaster, too
This one was also cut about 1/8 of the way down, but she opted for a shallow dish.
This one was cut just about halfway. She has two similar-sized bowls. Here, I was showing her how she could reverse them to have the pattern on the inside.
A nice round green one with lots of sari silk waste
Pretty pink with silk hearts on it
Jan told you about the sale we went to a little while ago. I was much better behaved and only bought a few things. Two small sample rolags and 3 bags of slubs. I have been wanting to try slubs. I know the neps are very hard to keep in the yarn when spinning, and do not like to stick to a felting project. I am hoping slubbs will stick better in both. If they do, then I may have to order some and dye them myself. One more thing on the to-do list.

That looked like a really great class Ann, the results were good and your pupils all seemed delighted with their fantastic results.
I love those drool making rolags and the slubbs look smashing too. Can’t wait to see what you do with them.

Thanks, it was a fun day and I love seeing how different they all are. Spinning form rolags is my favourite way to spin. I like the look of the slubs but well reserve judgment on how useful they are.
The Insta reel is lovely! Gave us a laugh too – every felt item we make has to be tried on as a hat 🙂
What a fun class and every project turned out great.
We don’t find slubs any easier to felt in than nepps. Both require a decent bed of dry fibres to nestle into and very patient, gentle agitation until they’ve felted in.
The reel was great. I need to learn how to do it. It is probably easy…….once you know how. 😉
If patience is required, the slubs and I will probably not get along.
Wonderful vessels achieved by the ladies at your class Ann, and I loved the Insta reel. You bought some lovely things at the fair.
Thanks I think they were all happy with there results. The reel was great. another thing on the list of things to learn how to do.
Looks like a great class and the video was a plus. I haven’t tried many slubs but I agree with Annie and Lyn that they can be tricky.
Thanks Ruth, they looked a little more like they night stick. A little less dense and the little tails to help. we will see.
Looks like a fun class with lots of happy felters and a very jolly reel too.
I find slubs do stay when wet felting slightly less reluctantly than nepps though both benefit from gentle coaxing and a few strands of wool over the top.
thanks it was fun and I loved the reel too. I am glad to hear they work a little better. I want to try some in some spinning to. I am holing that will get twisted in better and nepps that just fly out.
Looks like fun! Your students did a great job.
