Get ready for the season with my holiday online workshop. I’m bringing back the original Felt & Stitch Holiday workshop for all of you that missed out on it last year! Join me in my virtual studio to make wonderful felted wool projects for your holiday décor and gift giving. I’ll be teaching and working with you along the way through a combination of blog posts, downloadable PDF’s, and videos posted weekly. Learn and collaborate with others in the class through a combination of blog comments and the class Flickr group. Projects will include ornaments, home décor and small gifts, designed especially for this workshop and are not available in my books or anywhere else!
I’m so excited to be able to offer you these projects again this year! I put together this slide show to get you inspired for the season and this special event.
Felt & Stitch Holiday is jam-packed with ideas, techniques and projects you can start making right away. Inspired my book, Warm Fuzzies, this workshop will focus on small projects made with felted wool sweaters and/or craft felt. You will learn the basics of working with felt, a variety of applique and embellishment techniques, experiment with needle felting methods and more. Each week I will post wonderful holiday projects for you to make applying these techniques. I will share with you tricks of the trade. Even if you have never worked with felted wool before, you’ll complete this workshop feeling like a pro! You might also feel a bit like Santa with all of the gifts and décor you’ll create.
The Details:
This 4-week workshop begins October 18 and runs through November 12. Cost of the workshop is $40. Once registered, participants will receive a password (via email) granting access to a special blog page created just for the workshop. Each Monday I will demonstrate a technique. On Wednesdays I will post a project for you to make using that technique. In addition to the workshop blog, you will have access to the class Flickr group where you can share photos of your finished projects, ask questions and take part in discussions. Feel free to take the course at your own pace on your own time! All workshop content will be available to participants through December 31, 2010.
What a good idea for promoting your wares – might take a look at Smilebox myself – although I was really flummoxed by the two pieces of music running concurrently! Thought I’d left my itunes running or something…! Doh! x x x Catherine
And now I just have the one lovely tune running Betz! Very nice. The workshop sounds fab, I only wish I could spare time from the Christmas season madness to indulge 🙁 x x x Catherine
This looks like so much fun. If we ever got to have a sit-down, meet-up, I’d love to hear how doing an online class works. People ask me about it but I have no clue! There is a meet-up next week, here in Boston… sure you don’t want to come???
This sounds like such fun! I wish I could join in but I won’t have internet access for 9 of those days. I guess I’ll have to wait (and hope) for next year!

Catherine,
Two songs? That’s not right, I will look into it. Thanks for letting me know. There should just be one song, “Lucy and Linus”!
