The Fiber Craft Studio


The Fiber Craft Studio at Sunbridge





Today, more than ever,
the crafts have the mission to reconnect the human being to the Earth and her substances,
bring healing to the senses and the soul,
and foster the creative capacities of the human being...
-Renate Hiller








I especially loved this fiber from a goat (I think?)...it was soft and perfectly curly-- it made splendid hair for a standing puppet I began creating during the course.



(He will one day be "Prince Autumn"...he'll make an appearance soon!)
I believe it was dyed with calendula....


In other craft and fiber news, I am very close to completing W's birthday sweater and other felted projects/decorations for his upcoming birthday!
...I'm so excited!

  3. Oh these pictures are just splendid. What a paradise! W's birthday crown is adorable. You've done a wonderful job. Question, would you do a post on how to make those puppets? I saw the picture of them at the school and just adore them. Take care.

  4. you are really inspring me with these peeks into your training. It reminds me why I am embarking on this path... as I looked at the photos, I felt like my soul took a deep breath of relief. Currently we live in a very white, noisy apartment in the suburbs and I can smell a foundry many days...luckily in a week we are moving to a cottage 3000 miles away -a lovely way to spend the end of my pregnancy. anyway, I love watching your progress through this journey, knowing that soon I will be on a similar venture. My foundation year program starts when we settle with the rudolf steiner centre :)
