A complete instruction booklet and resource list is also included.

About the Instructor:
Lorraine Cathey moved to Hendersonville, NC in 2013 from Pensacola, FL. A pleasant change for sure. “My husband and I had visited the area for many years and had decided this was to be our retirement location as soon as our children were grown and settled. My husband passed away before our dream could materialize, but I forged ahead and find inspiration and
comfort in these beautiful mountains.
I was juried into the Southern Highland Craft Guild in 2014 and am enjoying sharing my craft with others through demonstrations and teaching. The Guild has provided me a family of makers who share my love for this area. My current body of work includes needle and wet felted landscapes ranging in size from 8x10 to 24x36. I use a variety of wool roving in different colors
and textures. The scene is needle felted onto a white pre-felt backing which serves as a canvas. When I’m satisfied with the needle felted work the piece is wet felted to securely lock the fibers in place, followed by steam ironing and occasionally free motion stitching on certain areas that may need additional texture. Work is then mounted and framed.”
