Felting a Sneak Peek…
Hi everyone! There have been quite a few posts highlighting some awesome sessions coming up during the conference. It’s really going to be hard to choose!
We’re still hoping for more people to send us their session descriptions and photos so we can highlight them (there’s still time!), but until then, I thought I’d show off some of my students’ work. And hopefully entice you to come to my FREE session (ticket required, though, so get one!) called “The Future of Felting” on FRIDAY, 2-2:50 PM, in Wilson 434.
I’ll show you some felting techniques that I have used with my students, and ideas you can use to “felt” it into your curriculum (some felting humor for ya). Using this form of fibers is an easy way to create sculptures and 3D art in the classroom. 
This will be hands on, so bring your ideas and we’ll jump in! Hope to see you there!
