I don't have enough "OOOOOOOOH's" and "AAAAAAAAAAH's" to describe the Creative felt Gathering in Manchester Michigan. Chad Hagan, Elis Vermeulen and Jone Rakoski were amazing teachers, in a place that called out to feltmakers. Rustic, calm, spacious, beautiful, tress, water, trails. It was an in gathering of wonderful feltmakers and wonderful people. I am so glad I was there. It was perfection!I was not able to take all of the classes, I arrived two days after the event started. I needed to get some rest after the Michigan Fiber Festival, which was 5 days of intense teaching and "vendoring". I needed to get some rest and I am only sorry that I missed so much of the time with Jone and Elis. To say that I learned a lot would be an understatement, in so many ways! I made this scarf with Jone and a piece of fused glass as well. It doesn't sound like much, but what I came away with is so much more! I simply do not have the words to express it!
(Me, nearly speechless...my husband is liking this part!)
Back to the felt table for now! Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival is coming up shortly. So much to do, so little of me to get it all done!
Shalom,
Suzanne

Beautiful scarf and so cool to learn from "masters" .Nothing is as inspiring as learning from people who obviously love what they do .
Gorgeous Suzanne. How fun that you got to attend. It's amazing how much there is to learn.
Trudis, krex, and Judy,
Truly, I do nat have the words to tell all that I learned. i am hoping that some of the things learned will start to show in my work. I want to be a really good felter one day. Most excellent teachers help so much!
Thanks for your comments, much appreciate your stopping by!
Hugs,
Szuanne

Hi Suzanne, I just saw the Creative Felt Gathering on Facebook for Sept. 2011. Can you tell me where they actually list the classes to sign up. My brother lives in Niles, MI and this might be a possibility for me.
