Terrific vessel, Zed. Like the colors, the shape and the hairiness of both red and mustard fibers.

Thanks, everyone As it was my 2nd ever vessel, I was disappointed I'd over felted/fulled it and made it all hairy, but my girlfriend looked at it and said 'wow, I love the glow from the yellow fibres coming through the red, so gorgeous'! Yeah, we've had leaves falling off trees and changing colours for a while now Judy, though we had another long period of very warm weather, as we often do at this time of year. I've got spring flowers in my garden and lots of shrubs are flowering too.

we have been discussing how they felt on the north American felters list. They do a lot of rubbing. Someone called it slow felt. They make very heavy peices out of fin wool. her base pile seems to be about 6-8 inches high before adding her motif wetting. Rod apparently wets his base down and works on top of it wet and flattened.

It's always interesting to hear about different techniques. I personally have come to like rubbing compared to rolling and rolling. But it depends on the project. I've never done anything that large.

Thanks for the link, Ann. Real interesting stuff she makes--huge pieces. Have heard Finn wool is a good felter. As Marilyn noted, it always useful to hear about different techniques. I’ve never been much of a roller and prefer rubbing and using my wooden foot massager from time to time.

The class in Quebec is focused on making a slim tunic or dress and also a lamp shade. I am touring Japan for the sheer joy of it--no felting class included--although I would sign up if it were offered! Hi, would you mind telling me where you took you course in Quebec, by whom and how it was. Do you have any picture of what you did? Curious I am because I live in Quebec. Thanks a lot.

I went to the Twist Festival last year but not this year. The felting courses that were offered this year were about the same as last year so it was less interesting for that ( same teacher too). I think they need new teachers so they would be able to offer different courses from one year to the other if they want people to go back again and again. My opinion.

Yes I need to contact them again to ask when you submit class proposals. I am unilingual but perhaps it wouldn't be a problem.

No Ann, I do not see any problem. Because on the knitting and wool spinning classes they were american teachers so english only. As long as they know before and student are aware when they register there is no problem.
