I'm teaching a class at the Orlando Pottery Studio!


It's a class I designed based on Wool, and the many useful forms it can take. It's a six week, six session, 3 hour per session, class. Each class includes a new method, correlating with a concept and an artist. There will be dyeing, spinning, wet felting, needle felting, weaving, and repurposing...oh! and book making. The more it evolves, the more excited I am...keep reading in the coming weeks...

Woven Lace Flapper Dress


This dress, designed in the fashion of a 1920s flapper dress, was hand-woven on a floor loom. Using linen, in the colors of gold-wheat, and white, I wove a two yard piece of fabric using the brooks boquet lace weave, with plain weave. I then carefully cut and pieced the fabric to create the garment above.
