Squam in Fiber (Felting)

On Saturday, October 4, from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm, the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) will be hosting an art program where we will be teaching and learning new strategies of felting together. We will be looking out at Pipers Cove and trying to capture the landscape. We will hold this program rain or shine. If it turns into a beautiful, wet fall day, we’ll move inside to our great room.

Squam Lake is beautiful in every form. Come capture the landscape with us this fall by felting. We will have an introductory workshop on all things felting. Lakes Region Conservation Corps member Emma Murray will lead this deep dive into fiber. We will provide all necessary materials; register early as participation is limited. This event will take place at the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) main building, looking out at Piper's Cove. Everyone will come away from the program with a felted image to take home.

All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by adults.

We will provide everything you need for the activity, but if you would like to bring your felting materials, roving, needles, and a piece of clothing to work on, you can, but it is not necessary.

Hello! My name is Emma Murray and I’m a recent graduate of SUNY ESF College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, New York. I just graduated with a degree in Environmental Biology and applied my love of silviculture to get a minor in Forestry. I adore being in nature and sharing tons of fun facts about trees, you’ve been warned if you ever go on a walk with me! If I’m not in the woods hiking around for cool plants you can find me baking, reading a cool fantasy book or working on one of my knitting projects.
