Inside the Artists' Studio...A Christmas Open House

SAVE THE DATE:  Saturday, December 8 from 12 - 6 p.m.  Five local artists are opening their studios for YOU!  Plan to spend the day visiting these studios...you will probably be able to complete your Christmas shopping.  The artists participating are:

Nancy Stuhler
Roger Kilponen
Woolderness (featuring the artwork of 9 local artists)
Cedar Shore Soap
Heerspink & Porter Pottery

Maps are available at Woolderness!

Angora anyone?

Stop by the studio and meet Chessie - my English angora bunny.  Not only will you find her "hopping" around, you will also find her in the "roving."  I am blending angora with merino for a "yummy" soft and fuzzy yarn.  I am dyeing it "beach glass" and "mackinaw bay", but will also dye to your request.

I will also custom blend for you...just let me know what you want!

Meet "Chessie"

Meet "Chessie" the newest addition to Woolderness!

She loves to hide behind the baskets of wool!

                                                She also loves to "hop" around the studio.
These pictures are long overdue!  These are the two classes I taught at the Northern Michigan Lamb & Wool Festival in West Branch.

Punch Needle Embroidery AND Felting.

This is my "felting" workshop.  The ladies are busy needle felting coasters.  When they finished, we threw them in the "wonder washer" and wet felted them!
