2008 Workshops

2008 WORKSHOPS


This year the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival is pleased to offer an expanded workshop program. As you browse through the class offerings you will see that there is just about something for everyone. There are introductory level classes where absolutely no experience is required to advanced classes where a good foundation is important to fully benefit from course content. New this year we are even offering a "walk-in" or "drop-by" felting workshop on Sunday - no pre-registration required. There are also a few classes appropriate for younger children - ages 8 years and up.

Workshops will be held on the grounds of the Festival, Thursday through Sunday, October 16th -19th. Most of the classes will take place in Building "B". Those classes involving a lot of water - wet felting, and dying classes will once again be in our "Tent City" location.

In an effort to streamline our registration process and make things less confusing, we are including all fees in the cost of the workshop. There are no additional charges once the fee is paid ( unless clearly stated in the course description). On Thursday and Friday, we are also offering the option of pre-ordering a "box lunch". There will be no food vendors on the grounds on Thursday and a realatively small number on Friday. We thought we would offer this option for the convenience of our workshop participants. Please indicate on the registration form if you would like to order a box lunch.

Please remember to indicate alternative choices on the registration form. Some classes will fill quickly and if you do not indicate an alternative choice, your registration will be delayed. The registration form is a pdf file. You may fill the form in on-line but MUST download it and mail it to us with complete payment in order to register. Currently, we do not have the ability to accept registration forms on-line.

As you look through the course descriptions, you will see beautiful photographs of each instructors work. These photos are not NECESSARILY a representation of the product of that particular class but moreso an overall representation of the instructors portfolio.

Thank you for your interest in our workshop program. The workshop committee of the Festival has put together an exciting and expansive offering for this years Festival. We thank all of the Instructors who have agreed to participate this year. We could not ask for a more creative and talented group.
