SUMMARY:New England Log Carrier
DESCRIPTION:Join the New England Felting Supply to make a uniquely New England gift for yourself or others.  Participants will be felting and constructing a very durable log carrier from local wools. To decorate the carrier\, we’ve purchased 12 sets of heavy woolen quilt squares made at the famous Johnson Woolen mill in Vermont. Each student will choose one set of patterened wool fabric and coordinating leather handles in natural leather tones that will be hand-sewn to the heavy felt. No experience is necessary\, but making the felt requires standing most of the first day\, so some degree of physical endurance is assumed. \nRegister Here
