This year the younger students once again created puppets that related to a story that they wrote together, in small groups. There was a Princess story, a Pokemon story, Achmed the Dead Terrorist made an appearance, and there was a super hero story. The students worked through the felting process and then created their on backdrops for their show.
The older students had the opportunity to learn how to do Shibori dye work with prefelt and then to choose an object to create from that felt. They had to plan for shrinkage and design their work accordingly. My original idea was to have them make their own slippers, but decided to give them some choices. Each student created a very personal work that reflects their sense of design and usefullness.

making the slippers was a long process, but in the end it was worth it
