ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Take your felting to the next level with this extensive workshop with Studio 907's Beth Marx. If you've ever wanted to learn (or improve on what you already know) to make a seamless garments using a resist, make your own patterns, de-mystify shrinkage calculations and learn how to use Beth's "Easy Peasy Shrinkage Calculation Sheet" then this workshop is for you.  

Come to La Quinta,  the gem of the California desert and join Beth for this stimulating, hands-on workshop where you will be creating your own unique felted seamless collage vest. 


Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
January 27, 28, 29, 2026
9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

You will learn how to make a pattern/resist using one of your own pieces of clothing as a guide (it does not need to be a vest) and to easily size it up to account for shrinkage using Beth's Easy Peasy Shrinkage Calculation sheet.  Beth's method for pattern making doesn't involve taking body measurements or using complicated math - you won't even need a calculator. 

Learn Beth's collage style of felting by incorporating hand made prefelts and layering various silk fabrics.  Beth will teach you how to create seamless edges and to professionally finish the open areas like the armholes and hemline, and how to shape and size your vest to fit properly and flatteringly.  You will also learn about various closures for your vest.

On the afternoon of the last day, Beth will help you style the vest and show the various ways it can be worn along with a one-on-one photo shoot.
