NEEDLE FELTING WORKSHOPS
Due to construction on new studio/living space here at my house, I have to put any on-site workshops on hold right now. But if you have space in your house or want to find a space for a private group, we can talk about me coming to you (with all the materials and supplies required.) Give me a shout...(978) 875-5270 or lyn@lynslade.com.
October 21 & 22 at the New York Sheep and Wool Festival I'll lead 3 half day workshops. SOLD OUT
No other workshops scheduled until after the new year. Look here for info. once I'm in my new studio. I'll also be offering private needle felting intensives for travelers and locals. Schedule time to learn one on one, use materials in the studio, experiment with techniques or create a special project for one to three days.
ART EVENTS
SOLO - Opening reception for my solo exhibit at Creative Connections in Ashburnham is Sat Aug. 19 12:00-2:00 the exhibit runs 8/18 - 10/21. It's the first time this collection will be exhibited and is quite a departure for me. Ocean life. Numerous individual pieces of creatures who live in the sea, and mixed media art that depict the energy of water, hung together from the depths to the surface. Should be a fun one to see especially on a hot summer day. Also offering a hands-on workshop there on 10/14. Only a couple of days left to see this exhibit. I will be showing a slightly different version of it at the Sudbury Goodnow Library in March.
I am setting up exhibits in 2024 already, so check back and see what gets scheduled.
Upcoming show/sales
Nov 11 & 12 I'll be part of the Tower Hill Botanical Garden Holiday Show in Boylston
Nov 18 I'll be in Berlin at the Berlin Art & Fine Crafts Festival
At both of these events I'll bring needle felted art, Holiday ornaments and decor. Hope to see you there.
I hope to be part of the Sudbury Art Association's Holiday Market again this year. They are still searching for a space, and only once one is contracted can they set the dates. So stay tuned!
If you are wondering about the Good Friends Sale that has been held at my home in the past, you will find the other's (but not me this time) on Dec.2 SATURDAY at Davis Hall in First Parish Bolton. With my renovation it was impossible to hold the sale here. Be aware that it's the first SATURDAY of Dec. this year (not the customary Sunday)
WOOLY AFTERNOONS (on hold)
The new studio/living space in the house is under construction. So the bulk of the rest of the building has turned into storage space, moving my only art making area into the dinning room. Since I still plan to participate in numerous autumn and holiday sales, I'm up to my eyeballs. So I must put wooly afternoons on hold. With any luck I'll be in the new space by the end of the year, and can re-start our gatherings in 2024 in my new studio. If not by January, then whenever the construction and move-in is complete. Watch this spot for news later in the year.
But if you are new to my site, and are wondering what I'm talking about....
After you've taken instruction from me (anywhere...) you are invited to come to my house and work on your needle felting or wooly craft during my Wooly Afternoons. It's a fun time of community and creativity. Four hours set aside to work on your thing with others working on theirs. Get feed back or ideas, learn something new or share your special gifts. Most attendees work on needle felting, but it's open to all wool arts. Sometimes somebody knits, does wool applique or spins...It's relaxed and delightful. I provide a delicious homemade dessert and coffee/tea. $15 ( Next Wooly Afternoon likely in 2024. )

I still sell needle felting supplies from my studio here, please call ahead to arrange a time for a quick visit - 978-897-5270.
My book "Creative Needle Felting, wool art with a painterly style" is still available. Although the publishing company closed, I have a healthy supply of books, so this is the place to get one. It's received good reviews and comments from shop owners and individuals. It is well worth the $12.95 with good clear photos and lots of inspiration, a good guide for the beginner in needle felting art. If you call me at 978-779-5005 I will be happy to ship it out on a credit card.
