Workshop: Autumn Wool Painting

Using both wet and dry felt-making techniques, we will create a beautiful landscape inspired by the color that surrounds us. Taking place over two mornings, this workshop is suitable for beginners as well as those with previous felt-making experience.

Fiber arts instructor Elizabeth Stubbs studied art at Boston University, where she earned a BFA in painting. Following graduation, she spent many years as an art teacher at the Winsor School in Boston. Later, she studied illustration at the Art Institute of Boston and became a freelance illustrator. She discovered the ancient art of felt-making during her training to become a Waldorf teacher and has been exploring it for 20 years.
