This beautiful felted spiral is the result of Helene’s exploration of movement in felt art. She has developed a method to create hanging spirals which look so beautiful wherever you hang them, whether indoors or out. Do you want to expand your knowledge of creating three dimensional felt? If so, this is the class for you!

Hanging Felted Spiral with Helene Dooley is now open for registration. Click on the link for all the course information and to register. The class begins on October 13th and you will learn how to create these beautiful spirals. The class is four weeks long and includes PDF’s and videos for the coursework. A knowledge of book resists is preferable, though not essential.  Previous experience working in three dimensions is essential.  Also required is a basic knowledge of needle felting and sewing.  Check out the student’s gallery for spirals created by other students from Helene’s previous classes.
