LGBTQ2S+ identifying individuals are invited to explore a different creative project each month in a fun and safe space.
Join us for this fun, casual program. Together we will explore a new creative project with a guest artist each month. Registration is limited to 2SLGBTQ+-identifying people in the Waterloo Region. This month we will be exploring wet felting wool with Michael Rouse and Peter van Ryn. Come on out for fun and crafting with Michael and Peter from woolwaterneedle. Make a bowl, a vase, a pumpkin, a bird, an egg—any 3D object you please—out of wool,using the creative and satisfying process of wet felting. This class is for beginners, returning students and experienced artisans. All materials are supplied.
About the instructors: Michael and Peter are excited to return to the Queer Craft Circle after great time last February demonstrating needle felting. They showcase their needle felted and wet felted wool creations through woolwaterneedle and are inspired by nature to create work that is decorative and allows viewers to bring their own narrative to a piece. Recently Peter has been focusing on felted paintings of farm buildings of Southwestern Ontario. Michael is often in the studio creating custom pet portraits in wool. You can learn more about woolwaterneedle by visiting their website.
This program is offered in collaboration with Spectrum, Waterloo Region’s Rainbow Community. You can learn more about Spectrum by visiting www.ourspectrum.com
