PODS Workshop

Just finished a 2-day felting workshop with the talented Andrea Graham at New England Felting Supply in Easthampton, MA.

I've been waiting over a year for this workshop to be offered and it was well worth the wait.

My first pod (based on a lotus flower pod) taught me the basic structural techniques along with learning that I need to concentrate more on color contrasts. It was pretty good for my first pod (the seeds "look like froggy eggs")

I tried to incorporate many of the techniques and decided to create a "sampler". This pod is ~14" long




The workshop was just what I needed to get back into the studio and create some fun sculptures.

  2. Laura, I LOVE your new pods! OK I admit, somewhat creepy, but really cool. And you learned some great techniques! What are you going to make next?
