Faerie Ornaments
A three week course in Faerie making
November 22nd - December 15th
In this three week class we will be creating faerie ornaments. They will be entirely hand sewn from natural fibres with the exception of their wings. You’ll be learning how to dye locks for hair with a variety of natural dyes, embroider faces, and create clothing using salvaged antique fabrics and wool felt.
Materials are not included in the cost of the course. A full resource list for materials will be emailed to you upon registration. Kits will also be available for purchase.
Previous hand sewing experience is essential. Felting and other handwork experience is an asset but not necessary.
New lessons will be available every Friday. You can work through the modules at your own pace as you have permanent access to the online classroom*.
Throughout the course I will be available to answer any questions via email and our privatre Facebook group. We will also meet weekly on Zoom to discuss progress and share work.
*As long as it exists online.
