Our first-ever Felt Fest is designed for artists at all levels to enjoy working with wool. Students are invited to sign up for all 5 classes, or to choose among the offerings.

Felting is a meditative and fascinating tactile process, and instructor Audra Christie has enjoyed exploring the huge range of applications of the medium.

Christie’s passion for fiber art has led her to felting hats and art objects, spinning yarn, and knitting and crocheting using wool from her own sheep. Her artwork explores ethics, craftsmanship, local culture, conviviality, and the essence of rural communities. She has taught several past workshops at EAC, including wet-felted vessels, felted beads and buttons, and landscape felting.
