This Month's Live:
Introduction to Needle Felting - sheep pin cushion project
hosted by EBSQ Self-Representing Artists and Harlan
Monday, June 9th, at 9pm Eastern (6pm Pacific)
EBSQ Chat Room
Sheep Pin Cushion by Harlan
"With this demonstration I will provide a basic introduction to the process of needle felting and making a sheep pin cushion. The chat will cover the various types of needles and fibers that are suitable for needle felting. The sheep pin cushion will allow the demonstration of basic needle felting techniques along with some more advanced needle sculpting resulting in a fun and useful pin cushion."
About the presenter: Harlan grew up around artists and knew at an early age that her future lay in the arts. While she has had formal training, she is primarily self taught and devoted years to studying the science behind oil painting which is her main artistic medium. Harlan has always maintained a wide interest in needle arts, from needle point, knitting, embroidery, weaving to, most recently, needle felting. Harlan picked up a needle felting kit last fall, read the instructions and promptly threw them away and dove in. As has been the case in the past, hands on training has always been her best instructor.

EBSQ Live! Procedures
You can join the chat through the EBSQ website by simply clicking
on the chat button on the community page of our site. Pick a nickname
and select "login."
When you enter the chat please be patient as things get started.
During Live! presentations please refrain from saying
"Hello" to everyone who enters or "Bye" to everyone
leaving early. Though that is nice in casual chat it is not conducive
to staying within the schedule and you can always stay to visit
for Coffee Talk after EBSQ Live! wraps up!
As the Live! session begins there will be a short time for any announcements
and an introduction of the first presenter. Each presentation has
10-15 minutes scheduled and a 10 minute question/answer period afterwards
before the next session starts. Resources and visual images may
be included in some of these mini-workshops for you to click on
to open them in your web browser. Questions and comments will be
taken in order and if you don't get yours in then please feel free
to ask after Live! concludes. If you like what you are seeing and
want to have a copy of the information, then keep an eye out for
the Session to be posted on the web for you to review later.
Are you new to chat? Don't worry! It is as simple as typing. However,
you are not required to actively participate during the Live! presentations
so sit back and soak in the information.
EBSQ Live! Rules of Conduct
This is our professional forum for real time exchange and all conduct
should reflect this standard. Any inappropriate or abusive behavior
will result in the immediate removal of the offending party from
the EBSQ Live! session and may even result in a permanent ban. This
is not debatable.
If you have an area of expertise
and are interested in submitting an idea for conducting a future
EBSQ Live! presentation then please contact Melissa Morton at edu@ebsqart.com
