Sarafina Fiber Arts welcomes you to the Sarafina Annex, an online learning extension where we can expand, explore, and experience more together.
In the Annex you can find Felting Eweniversity Tutorials, Felting PHD Tutorials, and Scheduled Online Workshops with Sara.
Simon Brown, known as the Gentleman Felter, from the Northumberland coast of England, creates miniature owls, pigs and hares perched on the bristles of antique wooden scrub brushes (and has a following that includesDame Judi Dench). These faithfully rendered animals come at a precarious moment in time, when it can be difficult to decipher the real from the fake, from the boasts of politicians to the ever-blurring borders of the virtual world. The very nature of this work — done by hand with a dangerous tool, demanding hours of keen attention before anything recognizable manifests — suggests a stubborn rejection of the speed of modern life. From “The Wonderful World of Needle-Felted Animals”,
The New York Times Style Magazine, By Ligaya Mishan 8/13/2019
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Morris have two looms that they would like to donate. If interested, please email Joe at jlmorris42@gmail.com
