Arts and Crafts Workshop in Bloomingtion, IN
11 years ago
The weekend of July 11th I will be hosting an arts and crafts workshop. I have most standard fursuit making tools on hand (sewing machines, serger, lots of hot glue guns, foamies, random scraps of fabric for patterning, etc. Come by and get help with your own suit or do your repairs. Artists welcome too! For digital artists: I have only the one tablet and PC (I have manga studio, sai, and photoshop elements) and great wifi. So if you'd like to bring your own please feel free!
I'll have plenty of work space set out for what ever you might need. All I ask is that you bring your own small materials such as needles, thread, paints (although I do have a basic selection of acrylics if you're doing eye paintings), sharpies, foam and fur.
Come and hang out too or watch people work! This will be going on all day at my house starting at 10am on Friday and I will be open for people coming and going until Saturday night! I have room at the house for people to stay and I don't mind moving the kids into my room should more people have need of the beds over the weekend.
You don't need to stay for clean-up either lol so just come craft and offer up your own knowledge base for others!
I'll also be doing small classes on things like basic sewing machine operation, how I do my eyes, and maybe even a small tail tutorial (I'll provide some fur for this- but should you want a specific color feel free to bring your own as my fur will either be plain white or black scraps I have on hand). Should you bring your own fur for this I will happily show you how to do your own tail custom to you! -I'll do this tutorial on both Friday and Saturday so everyone can benefit-
-I will am taking fur donations for the tail class- anything 6x6-ish that you have would be great!
-I will be needing to borrow a few folding tables and chairs so if you have some in Bloomington or nearby and are willing to let me borrow them let me know and I'd be happy to come pick them up!
-I also will need some set up help on Friday to move furniture and such around the house to make more work room (really just to move the living room couches and roll the piano(already on wheels) into the laundry room!
I personally will be working on Mizu and Varg's fursuits, but may step away to help if needed and to learn to digi-grade with Pinky.
Random movies will be played throughout the weekend and there will probably be lots of pizza and video gaming as well. I ask that during this we keep drinking to a minimum until 8 or so to keep from having any accidents.
Everyone is welcome to come! Please note me for address or if you have questions feel free to message me on Facebook any time!

If anyone wants a fursuit fan, note or reply to this comment and I'll bring my soldering station and some materials. If you have a specific fan you want, bring it, otherwise just leave a size and I'll try to find one. I'll do the fan for $10 plus materials, so probably another $5 for the fan and $5 for the wires and so on for a total of $20 a fan! It might even be less depending on what you want.
