Learn how to applique' with needle felting - a simple, dry technique
that uses barbed needles to meld wool fibers together - and decorate
your own eco-friendly and functional shopping tote. Work with one of
Cecilia's patterns or bring your own 5" x 5" design on paper and have
fun "painting" with wool. You'll leave with a fun tote that is
uniquely yours! Cecilia was born into a family of designers in Hong
Kong, but it was the sheep farms she encountered while living in Nova
Scotia that fostered her passion for felting and fiber arts. Cecilia
relocated to South Carolina in 2013 and, since then, has been teaching
fiber arts for the Greenville Center for Creative Arts, the
Spartanburg Art Museum, STITCHES, and the Southeastern Animal Fiber
Fair as well as for local schools, communities, and private
individuals. She also demonstrates felting at museums, galleries, and
festivals across the UNITED STATES and Canada, and she has taken part
in multiple juried art exhibitions and fashion shows. Cecilia also
designs and packages all-inclusive felting kits for beginners. Her
kits are carried by museums, gift and hobby shops across North America
and are available online from her etsy shop, www.FELTasticFashion.com.
