Workshops with the artists!

We are very excited to offer workshops with the artists this Saturday!

Felting with WhiteFeather
Saturday, March 27th, 2010 
10:30 – 12pm
$12/child

WhiteFeather will lead children ages 5-10 in a workshop on making felted shapes from wool, such as a small multicoloured ball and a 'snake'. Wool fleece dyed with different flavours of Kool-Aid will be supplied for felting, and participants should be prepared to get a little bit wet and soapy! Wool felting is a satisfying sensory experience for all, but especially for young children. Rhythmic and peaceful, the process is as enjoyable as the finished product as warm water and soapy bubbles delight. WhiteFeather instructs Fibre Arts at NB College of Craft and Design in Fredericton.
