Courses in Felting and Natural Dyeing, Hong Kong

During November Nikki has invited fibre artist, Debbie Leung, to give a fantastic selection of felting and dyeing classes at her studies.

Her fibre journey:

Fibre is an exquisite medium for self expression. Regardless its origin, whether from nature or from high tech innovation, it is there for us to improve our lives both functionally and aesthetically. It is the application aspect of this medium that appeals to me enormously. On the one hand, I admire tradition and culture, which is the accumulation of human civilisation. On the other, I feel able to indulge in what the latest technology offers. By incorporating both, creativity is unrestricted. Fibre art allows me to express myself and I hope you enjoy will enjoy it too.

Debbie will be giving a series of three sessions:

Natural Dye:  3 Sessions - November 12th, 19th, 26th   2pm - 9pm (Thursdays)
(Costs: tuition $990, materials $700)
