Instructor: Elizabeth Stubbs is a felt artist living and working in Nahant, Massachusetts. She has a BFA from Boston University School for the Arts in painting, and has spent many years as a fine artist, illustrator, and teacher. She also holds a MEd from Antioch University in Early Childhood with a Waldorf certificate. It was during this teacher training that she was first exposed to the art of felt making and has been making felt for over 20 years. She teaches felt making classes and workshops in the greater Boston area.
Wet-felting is the traditional way to felt, the oldest textile known to human history and still used in many cultures world-wide to create a strong, durable, and warm fabric. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and use a bit of muscle to create a pair of beautiful mittens for yourself or a friend using the updated version of traditional techniques. Materials fee is $30, to be paid directly to the instructor, as well as a short list of items easily found in your home. Supplies can be picked up at the AIC office a few days before the start of the class, or mailed for an additional fee. Registration closes Feb 4.
