Summer Wraps in Silk and Felt	June 7th & 8th, 2008 Saturday & Sunday 10:00am-4:00pm	All levels welcome - Laminated Felt, sometimes called "Nuno" felt, creates wonderful gathered effects with sheer fabrics, especially silks. The addition of fabric layers also makes a thinner, more drapable felt, perfect for clothing. Laminated felt wraps are perfect for spring and summer airconditioning - just a touch of warmth. In this class, we will experiment with laminated felt effects with silk scarves and other evening wraps.	Material Fee of $36 PAYABLE TO THE INSTRUCTOR at time of class.
Felt Projects for the Home -	July 1-29 6pm-9:30pm (Tues. nights)	If your home is your work of art, you will appreciate having another fiber technique for contrast and impact.
