Get wet and woolie at Space to Create
September 24, 2009 in Ballard by Liza
Leah Adams is starting a series of wet felting classes at Space to Create in Ballard this fall on Monday evenings. Leah does amazing things with felted wool: felted pebbles, soaps and boxes are her mainstay, and you can learn those techniques and come away with some lovely gifts for the holiday season, or take one of her more advanced classes and learn to make one of a kind scarves, wrist warmers, table runners and more! Take a look at her gallery at http://kneek.wordpress.com/events/ sign up for a class at Space to Create 206.784.0401, spacetocreate@spacetocreate.net, and let your imagination run wild!
Flat felting basics is the next class on Monday September 28. Flat felting is your gateway to scarves, boxes, table runners, wall hangings etc.
Space to Create, located at 14th and 70th NW, is a place for people to come, both kids and adults, to take classes in arts and crafts. It’s also a space where people can come to work on their own projects using the space, tools and tables. Space to Create offers a place for teachers from the community to find an outlet to teach their skills without opening their own business.





Have you noticed all the fishing boats roosting at the Fishermen’s Terminal docks lately? That means it is time to celebrate the return of our local fishing fleet that homeports at Fishermen’s Terminal.
You may have seen the Girlie weekend sales in Seattle. Lots of nice used cowboy boots, hippie leather belts, slip dresses, and accessories. Now they have a more permanent home at the corner of 65th and 3rd NW. The prices are pretty good–especially for the boots. She’ll be open Thursdays through Sundays from noon til whenever the light starts to go. When winter arrives, there will be more set hours and the clothes will move inside. Next year the Girlie sale plans to hit the road in an airstream but will hopefully keep its brick and mortar location on 65th. Come on all you Girlie girls swing on by for some leather and lace!
