Needle Felting: SUMMER LAKE Workshop with Jaana Mattson

Description

In this single session we will work on a needle-felted summer landscape, with dappled sun glinting across a blue lake and a few cattails on the shoreline.  With all the right colors in your roving kit we will build the scene one step at a time, with particular attention to the tonal layers of color that create depth and highlight in the water.  

• We will work the composition step-by-step together and complete the piece during class. 
•  All tools and materials will be explained as we work, and all necessary supplies are provided.
• You will leave class with a finished piece and materials for more at home, which are covered by a $30 materials fee (due in class). 

 Each kit includes a collection of dyed wool roving in the landscape palette, felting needles, acrylic felt pinned to a foam block and printed materials outlining tools, fibers and resources.  Additional tools and full-spectrum work lights will also be available for professional studio conditions.

About the instructor: Jaana Mattson is a full-time professional artist who loves to make art and loves to teach. Over the years she has developed an innovative approach to needle felting to create impressionistic and often photo-realistic landscapes from wool fiber that capture the vibrancy and nuance of landscape. In 2020 her award-winning work and tutorials were published in the book "Jaana Mattson's Landscapes in Wool: The Art of Needle Felting”. After a lifetime of appreciating the midwestern landscapes, in 2020 Jaana Mattson moved her home and studio from Minneapolis, MN to the peaceful Blue Ridge Mountains outside of Asheville, NC. ​Find more info at www.JaanaMattson.com.
