Back
from my 2nd exciting trip Japan, check news Classes now listed through June

Though I've enjoyed nearly two decades of teaching an array of fiber arts at guilds, conferences, shops, art centers and campuses
nationwide, these past few years of confining myself to feltmaking and beadwork have been most satisfying.

Having studied, explored and taught traditional,
if not universal, techniques, provides solid footing for venturing off on my own adventures. Adventures such as pairing my
two favored mediums, and sharing these adventures in my book, HAND FELTED JEWELRY AND BEADS: 25 ARTFUL DESIGNS......
Benefiting by the experience of teaching hundreds of beading classes and wishing to reach more beaders than can fit in a classroom,
I wrote MASTERING BEADWORK: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO OFF-LOOM TECHNIQUES.
Inspired by Barbara Albright's knitting
books, compilations of projects by several designers and, seeking to feature the artful and elegant side of feltmaking, drove
me to write HOW WE FELT: DESIGNS AND TECHNIQUES FROM CONTEMPORARY FELT ARTISTS, also Interweave Press, and published in October
2007. testing
Now that the books are done,; I have the luxury
of time. Time to felt and bead and, of course, teach. Australia and Japan are recent additions to my international teaching
schedule. I continue to teach regularly scheduled bead classes locally.
Wherever and whenever we meet, I look forward
to beading and felting with you.
Until then,
warm regards,
Carol
