Just a few of Linda Veilleux's wonderful felt wearables.
Our beautiful Arrowmont studio...
...with ample space and lighting...
...deep sinks and plenty of tables for working with large resists!
A picture of me with my 'paper dolls'...
...a truly innovative teaching tool that helped us to visualize our 3-D garments.

The beginning of my jacket:
Dark blue-black 50:50 silk and merino roving...
...and a lovely variegated merino roving from my friend, Joan Berner.

I attended a spectacular seamless felt jacket class at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts last week...
...taught by the charming (and very talented) Linda Veilleux.
Using an enormous bubble wrap resist and a much-labored-over jacket design...
I created a long-sleeved nuno felt jacket from this roving and the dyed silk paj from my last post.
Next time: the adventure continues! :)

I can't wait to see it. Knowing what an accomplished student you are, I already know it's a winner. :)
Welcome home my friend.
Obviously this class has given you much to think about and some fun experimenting to do!
Deborah--I know...the studio space was thrilling!!
Sandie--Thanks. A proper note is coming soon.
Rachel--It's the perfect class for 'garment wimps' like myself. Without Linda's encouragement and instruction, I probably would not have soldiered on! :)
Great Heather! Beautiful adventure.
Grazyna--Yes, it was!! :)
How fun and exciting, I have always wanted to take a class at Arrowmont, it looks like you had a wonderfully creative time! Best wishes!
Melissa--Yes...Like John C Campbell, it's like adult 'camp' for artists (with good food!) XXO-
