Tentu

Come join us this Thursday for Riverside’s September Arts Walk … ALL FOR FREE! We’re here again to give you another opportunity to CREATE!

We’ll be joining ArtBites at RAM to provide you with some hands-on felt crafting with all materials and supplies provided and ready for you to craft and create. Cut up felt to make pouches, plushies, brooches, hats, masks, earrings, bracelets, gloves, geometric shapes, and anything you can image!

We’ll be crafting within Italian Artist Marco Casentini’s All Around exhibition and along with the La Sierra University opera singers’ lovely voices.

FELT! FELT! FELT! FELT! FELT! FELT! FELT! FELT! FELT! FELT!

WickerBasket Pop-Up Shop

Here’s a quick overview of the WickerBasket Pop-Up Shop that we participated in on July 30th and 31st, 2010. We made all sorts of things like bookmarks, pouches, camera cases, bags, prints, rings, mini-notebooks, and more to put up for sale at this temporary retail shop. Other participants offered vintage clothes, stuffed dolls, jewelry, notebooks made by recycled material, shoes, and so much more. Lee Tusman had a dressing room installation that was AMAZING too!

This is how we start off before a crafting session: a nice homemade meal with fresh watermelon juice.

Got a lot of empty wine bottles piling up at home? Transform them into glass cups to make better use of them! Follow this tutorial we found for you. It’s amazing!

It’s official! We’re going to be crafting it up at the Free For All Festival on Sunday, August 15th from 4PM to midnight. We’ll be providing the Paper Bag Mushroom and the Stranger Portraits workshops with the Coachella Art Studios. Come join us! It’s free!

Check us out at the Coachella Art Studios in April 2010 at the campgrounds of Coachella! We provided the following workshops: Get Felt Up, The Chop Shop, Photography, Paper Bag Mushrooms, and the Midnight Crafters aka GLOCHELLA! It’s always a pleasure to work with Miss Sarah Scheideman.

We participated in the Doctors Without Borders benefit with Sweet Bean and Tina Bold during Riverside Art Walk in March 2010. See 2:45 of the video by Doug Porter to see us in action! We have Jennifer Mancillas and Gerald Penilla felting it up with comments by Tina Yonas.
