Let’s go a little deeper in our art making skills and consider how the act of making is healing. Not only for ourselves, but for our planet. Using the FeltLOOM we will explore repurposing clothing and scarves. We will create fresh and vibrant sustainable art to wear or home decor. Bring something old and give it new, healing memories.

 All skill levels are welcome

Comments

“Having an interest in felt after dappling in wet and nuno felting, I took two FeltLoom classes under the guidance of Laverne Zabielski. Inspired, I also have completed the Sibori dying class. More than a teacher, Laverne Zabielski mentors and guides her students through art theory and color theory while demonstrating the process of the art form she is teaching.  

“Laverne’s teaching methods are based upon sound educational pedagogy, demonstrating, explaining, and collaborating. After displaying examples of  FeltLoom products and listening to her students, Laverne introduced some wool rovings, silk, and ribbon embellishments that could be incorporated into the silk and wool batting scarf that would be created in the beginning FeltLoom class. Reminding students of the color wheel and simple art theory concepts to help guide us in designing our pieces.

“I left my first class with Laverne, inspired and empowered, believing in myself as a creator of art.  

“Since the first class, with guidance from Laverne and the magic of the FeltLoom, I’ve made a shawl and then repurposed nuno felting scarves, I completed a 4’ x 6’ wall hanging. I’m looking forward to expanding my Sibori dying abilities.  Laverne Zabielski is unique, being a creative, skilled artist and teacher.” —Peggy W.
