Celebrate the beauty of winter with this delightful tapestry project. Build upon your Intro to Tapestry Weaving Level-1 skills to practice hills and valleys, hatching shading, and building visual depth into your piece. A kit of beautiful, hand-dyed wool yarn from the instructor’s sheep also includes the felt board and wooden pins for mounting your completed piece, along with glass eye beads for the deer. Students will need to supply their loom and small tools from the L-1 tapestry course, along with warp thread (#8 cotton crochet thread recommended). Stretch your skills and delight in the process of painting a picture with woven yarn!

About the Instructor:  Laura Berlage is a contemporary Renaissance woman living and working on her family’s century-old homestead farm outside Hayward, WI. From fiber arts to creative writing, music to storytelling, she never tires of the magic of transforming idea into form and overlapping narrative and visual. Laura also loves working with the many and beautiful natural materials from her farm—especially the wool from her sheep. Laura began her devotion to tapestry at age 13, studying 5 ½ years with master tapestry weaver Fran Potter before completing her MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts at Goddard College in 2011. She continues her lifelong passion for learning with engaged, hands-on teaching for small groups to encourage creativity, imagination, and expression.
