January Recap: Inspiring Times with Fiber Artist Dani Ives

Our January meeting was nothing short of inspiring as members enjoyed a special program featuring local fiber artist and world-renowned "painting with wool" expert, Dani Ives. Dani shared her artistic journey, techniques, and passion for creating stunning felted paintings using wool. Her work blends nature, animals, art, and fiber in a unique and captivating way, leaving us all in awe of the possibilities within this medium.

Following the program, members had the opportunity to dive into a Color Study Needle Felting Workshop, where they experimented with wool, color blending, and texture. It was a hands-on, creative experience that sparked joy and artistic exploration. Everyone had a great time learning a new technique and creating their own small felted pieces.

A huge thank you to Dani for sharing her expertise and inspiring us with her artistry! It was a wonderful way to kick off the year with creativity and community.
