A new year full of felt workshops. It is not always easy to decide which will please you the most, but I hope everyone can make a choice in the different themes and teachers. Hope to meet and welcome you this year.

Have you ever seen those gorgeous felted stones? Here is your chance to make one yourself. No need for felt-experience, so ask your mother, sister, or friend to join and have a lovely day with eachother. By joining the workshop you will also help the community in Zambia, because Jacquelien will donate her fee to their village. Now that really rocks!

Information about this workshop you will find here https://www.smore.com/8x1m

On request there will be a one day workshop with the Finnish designer Ulla Lapiolahti. You will learn how to use the colours from your kitchen. https://www.smore.com/uqq9

And if you're eager to learn more about natural dyeing and printing other than contact-dyeing, why don't you join the two other workshops with her in natural dyes and earthpigments?

On a cold day in December, with the woodburner on, a bunch of women gathered around Elena who has developped her own approch to printing with leaves. After a lecture and demonstration, students could make their own samples with prints. For more photo's click above on the FB-link

Last year there was made a beginning of the organising of this great event, an exhibition with several international feltmakers. It will start in the Netherlands and travels to Australia. During the exhibition in the Netherlands there will be several workshops with some artists. I will host Anita Larkin for example. You will find more information about this exhibition on their website and actual information at the FB-page. Information about the workshop with Anita will be given in the next newsletter.
