Virginia City, Nevada…… Alternate approach to Nuno Felting  Workshop October 11th, 12th, & 13th 2013

St Mary's Retreat Center

St Mary’s Retreat Center

This is the lovely center where we stayed while we had our 2 1/2 day Nuno Felting “retreat/workshop”

The Entry is on the middle floor with the workroom up one flight of stairs and the kitchen down one flight of stairs

a remarkable place to be sure built in the 1800’s…..we literally had the whole place to ourselves all weekend…..

This is the incredible Studio Space.....

We had a fabulous time, 2 1/2 days is too short to really delve into the depths of these processes….so many variables…..so little time…..big sigh…..I’d like to say Thank You to all the Wonderful Women who took this workshop and made this retreat a rousing success……

Namaste,

    Outstanding pieces the participants created. But then you are an outstanding teacher. Sorry to have missed that retreat. Hopefully there will be many more.
