AdminFelt United Workshop at The Elling House
The Elling House will celebrate the 3rd annual International Day of Felt – “Felt United” on Oct. 1, 2011. The goal of Felt United is to connect felt makers around the world to help raise awareness of felt and the properties of wool and other fibers. Felt is mans oldest known textile, made from natural fibers, water, soap and agitation. This process has produced non-woven fabrics for shelter, personal warmth, and creative expression. This October The Elling House in Virginia City, Mt will participate in the global event to create a whimsical felted rug using this years color palate of Red – Purple – Blue. Fiber instructor Kim Miller, a felter for over 10 years, will join others to let our imaginations flow and build a wool rug, which will be raffled off to help support The Elling House Arts and Humanities Center. If you ever wanted to work (or learn) the process of felting, please join us on Saturday, October 1, 2011 from 9:00 to 4:30p.m. To learn more you can visit Felt United at feltunited.com and also visit the Elling House Arts & Humanities Center at ellinghouse.org. Felting space is limited to twelve participants so early registration is required. This is a free workshop, and lunch will be provided for $5.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
