New Year's news

Happy New Year to all! Here's hoping that 2008 is better than 2007, wishful thinking that it is!

I had a great time with the Christmas Open Studio, and some fun projects came out of those sessions! Thanks to all of my friends who came by to roll with me!

I've been working on some new pieces and have applied to the Gasparilla Arts Festival as an emerging artist; cross your fingers! I made some cute capelets in alpaca that I just love, in my Atlanta Sunset series. One is shown here, and the others will be posted as made and photographed, in the Gallery section.

And now for the biggest news: I will be moving my studio up to the Asheville, NC area in March. There are countless opportunities to have my work seen in Asheville, as it is a fiber arts mecca in the Southeast. I still expect to travel to Georgia and Florida regularly to do shows and classes, however, and I will keep you all informed about future events, never fear.

I will host one more Introduction to Felting class in my South Tampa studio on February 2nd & 3rd, and I hope that all of you who have expressed interest in learning felting will be able to come. The specifics are on my website in the Classes section

Because of the move, I have cancelled my March classes at Spruill Arts Center in North Atlanta, but I have two classes scheduled in May and June, and then, starting in the fall, I'll be close enough to do weekly classes there. I'll keep you posted, or you can check the Spruill website.

Thanks for your interest in the feltosphere! I'll stay in touch, and let me hear from you!
