CLASSES

ANTLER BASKET CLASSES - Taught by Steve Pauloski the originator and designer of the "Ready-to-Weave" Antler Basket.  This innovative and unique basket is so beautiful and so easy to weave that you have to weave it to believe it.

His "Ready-to-Weave" Antler Basket is totally drilled, shaped, spoked and glued for you.  There are no ribs to measure, cut, taper or insert and it makes no difference whether you have an even or odd number.  The spokes are not indestructible, but rarely will you have one break.  You don't have to weave on one side of your basket and then the other.  The directions are the same whether you are right or, like he is, left-handed.  You can weave from the front or the back of your basket.  The antler and the basket are one, waiting for you to bring out their beauty with your creativity and imagination.  You will get many years of enjoyment from your original work of art.

PanPastel ARTISTS' PAINTING PASTELS - Imagine the softest pastels in the world...  Imagine pastels that are truly paintable... PanPastel Colors are genuine artists' quality pastels uniquely packed in a pan format.  Easy to use, blend, layer and apply like paint.  PanPastel Colors are not as pressure sensitive as pastel sticks.  You can build up mulitaple layers of color without flooding the tooth.  Easy to blend & mix colors like paint for an infinite palette.  And yet the colors are fully erasable plus, they can be combined with pastel sticks, for the best of both worlds! 

SOFFT TOOLS - are a new generation of tools and applicators for the artists and crafters.  Use them with the new PanPastel Colors or you can use them with most water-based art & craft materials.  Finished effects are different to brushes, as the brush stroke is eliminated.  Versatile, inexpensive and reusable, Sofft Tools can be used for painting, Paper Crafts, Stencilling, Polymer Clay, and Ceramics.  Draw, paint and blend like never before.

FABULOUS FELT - Deep in the Himalayan mountains, Nepalese craftspeople combine traditional methods of wool dying and felt making with contemporary designs.  The result is a wide range of high quality, 100% wool products in luscious colors to enhance shoulder bags, clutches, mini purses, totes and acccessory cases - even jewelry!

It can be as simple as stitching embellishments onto a wool blank, or using the flowers and shapes as gorgeous elements in your own creative composition.  Pick from ready made felt embellishments in a rainbow of colors, blanks for embellishing and raw wool.  We have needles, books, even a kit for beginners.  Create designs as simple or as elaborate as you like.
