Go Felt a Fish...and Other Cute CrittersINSTRUCTOR: Jody Francis
SKILL LEVEL: Beginner MATERIALS: $5 (collected by instructor at class) STUDENTS TO BRING: A great attitude and enthusiasm for learning new skills. DESCRIPTION: In this class, we’ll learn how to needle felt wool, roving into cute fish and other shapes and sizes. Using felting needles and spritz of water, watch the creations come to life in their 3-dimensional forms. Once finished they can be used in garland, wind chimes or hanging crib mobiles, ornaments, pendants, earrings, curios, toys, or add them to felted wool art to give it texture. Really, the only limitation is your imagination. INSTRUCTOR BIO: Jody Francis has been a fiber artist for most of her life. Starting around five years of age, her mother taught her to knit. There were many square blankets for dolls to be sure and potholders a plenty for gifts. Around eight years of age, Jody's aunt taught her to crochet while camping in the Big Horn mountains of Wyoming. Not to be too cliche, but she was hooked. Jody completed Certified Instructor Courses, graduated to teaching classes, and began passing on her fiber knowledge to the next group of fiber artists in the making. Jody not only teaches in the classroom, but also one-on-one, informal gatherings in the park, coffee houses, local yarn stores, and demonstration/classes for fiber festivals. She thoroughly enjoys the fiber arts world with experience in crochet, knitting, sewing, weaving, felting, nålbinding, wire work including recycled guitar strings, jewelry making, beading, and woodwork. Jody is constantly seeking out new and fun ways to challenge and grow her own personal experience from international and local artisans alike. Teaching the skills that enable folks to enjoy the fiber arts as much as she does is a privilege and an honor. Contact Instructor |
