Workshops: Creating Art from Within

TO ALL FELTMAKING ENTHUSIASTS
A Happy New Year 2012 to you, wishing you a year of creativity and full self-expression in the arts and anything you do!

As some of you might already know, I moved my studio to Vesuvius here on Salt Spring. Now I live and work with everything under one roof, enjoy the closeness to the ocean and wide views over the water while creating new work.

The workshop schedule for 2012 is out. I will be holding these classes in various locations in Ganges this year, more central and with lots of space for your projects. Most workshops will accommodate all skill levels. Classes for each workshop will still be small, in general limited to eight participants. So you will receive lots of attention and support for each of your projects. The beautiful heritage house I was mentioning a while ago, is no longer available for rent; the owner came back to live there herself. But – there may be another larger retreat style house available later this year. I will let you know.

Since I am renting the workshop spaces, I need to ask you to sign up as much in advance as possible to assure that the workshop is going to take place. Thank you for your cooperation.

All class fees include a light lunch, coffee, tea and goodies. You can register by phone or by email. Please note that you can transfer funds via PayPal (ulrieke@ulriekebenner.com). A material list, workshop location will be sent to you after sign up.

I look forward to working with you!

A SAMPLE OF WHAT WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY
I knew nothing about felting when I arrived and in three days I was able to make several fabulous pieces...Ulrieke's teaching and her extraordinary sense of colour and design resulted in coaching me to make unanticipated and delightful shapes for the hats I made...I can't wait to return for more fun and learning.
