Let’s Create.
We’ve created three different methods to guide you through the felting process. For those in southwest Montana, I hope you’ll join me and our community for an in-person workshop, which are held several times throughout the year. For those who prefer to create at your own pace, any where in the world, and at your own leisure, you can explore the E-guidebook/digital download as well as the video tutorials.
Through whichever method works best for you, I welcome you to this space. It is a tremendous honor to be with you on this part of your creative journey, and I am grateful to you for being such a profound part of mine.
Designed for those who enjoy creating art at their own pace. A 23 page step-by-step digital download to aid you through the felting process. Included is a brief history of felting, felting supplies needed, and detailed instruction with over 40 images to guide you through the felting process, plus more. This guidebook is a great supplemental reference and visual companion to the video tutorials.
Through these simple and concise video tutorials, we start with an overview of basic felting, then progress to insider techniques that Meghan has adapted and implements within her own art. This class is intended for first-time felters and those with some experience. You’ll have access to six chapters of self-guided tutorials with detailed instructions so you can work independently at your own pace.

Let’s gather.
The felting process - the application of soap, water, and agitation - is one of permanence. Once the fibers are bound together, they cannot be undone. Wool teaches us how to let go of expectations, control, and perfectionism… to trust the process and outcome, the material, and yourself. It’s an opportunity to get still and listen to the silent, yet beaconing conversation between this medium and the great mysterious presence of creativity that we all possess.
As much as these workshops are an opportunity to learn a new skill and create a work of beauty, it’s also a space to experience presence. It’s a time to slow down and be open to what is stirring within your creative being. It’s a space to find connection to your own artistic expression and voice, connection with like-hearted kin in creative community, to the sensorial-rich experience of the wool medium, and this primal, ancient textile process.
