Workshops
Jill has been teaching feltmaking workshops and classes since early 2008 and really enjoys sharing her process. In fact, the use of the process and a good deal of play are an important component to Jill's teaching. When you come to a class with her be prepared to learn as you go. You can obtain a great deal of control over what is happening under your hands while make a felted piece, but there are always surprises. So let's play.
Jill will conduct workshops at her home studio or your facilities by arrangement. Workshops at her home studio can be individualized for you or your group's interest. More information on scheduling a workshop at her studio or your facility contact her either through E-mail or by phone at 952-484-1146.

Regarding Seamless Garments or Larger Projects
Quite a few inquiries are made about teaching larger items, especially the seamless garments. Jill is more then willing to teach such a class and can accommodate two people for a larger project her home studio. Or if you have a space that can accommodate a large project, let her know and we can arrange a fabulous class. Remember, large projects take not only space, but time as well.
There is really nothing like taking that wool fiber to the final garment without using your sewing machine. So do consider it taking on the challenge!
