Lightweight Nunofelt Scarf Felting Workshop
2024-03-02 09:00 - 15:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture, 68467 Three Creeks Rd, Sisters, 97759
Get ready to explore the fascinating world of nunofelting and create your own lightweight scarf at Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture.
This in-person event will take place on Saturday, March 2, 2024 starting at 9:00 AM (Pacific Standard Time).
During this hands-on workshop, you will learn the art of nunofelting, a technique that combines wool fibers with lightweight fabrics to create beautiful and unique scarves. Our experienced instructor Flora Carliele-Kovacs will guide you through the process, teaching you the basics and sharing tips and tricks to help you create stunning designs.
In this workshop we’ll discover possibilities of the nunofelting technique, leaving some open spaces in the silk. Flora will show you how to secure the design on the silk, and how to felt them in precisely and you’ll gain confidence to create more on your own.
Level of experience required: beginner to advanced
This workshop is one of two opportunities to explore the art of felting. If you’re interested in learning how to create a Felted Telescope or Rosette Hat on Friday, March 01, 2024, be sure to explore our other events.
While it’s not mandatory to sign up for both workshops, we highly encourage it.
About the Instructor:
The award winner of several wearable art shows, Flóra Carlile-Kovács is a professional felt artist born in Szeged, Hungary, now living and working in Seattle WA. In her work she incorporates two bodies of knowledge, the nomadic traditions and the urban, modern style of feltmaking. Coming from the European tradition of craftsmanship and quality, she is constantly experimenting with ways to improve not only the visual artistic aspect of her work, but also its physical integrity as a functional object appropriate for everyday use.

– notebook, pen/pencil for notes- 2 hand towels
– 8×2’ bubble wrap (no big bubbles please) – 3×2′ cotton sheet (old cloth)- sprinkler if you have one, to wet the felt- 1 olive oil soap or coconut oil-, or goat milk soap bar in a container- 1 quart bowl for water (a yogurt container will do) – (waterproof) apron if needed- comfortable shoes

GRAMMY® Award-Nominated, Billboard-Topping, Rockers The Record Company To Headline The Domino Room
2024-03-12 20:00 - 23:00 | Domino Room, 51 NW Greenwood Avenue, Bend
GRAMMY® Award-nominated, Billboard-topping, rockers The Record Company (TRC) will headline the Domino Room on March 12 as part of their “Roll With It” tour to support their latest release The 4th Album. During the show, the trio will perform tracks from their new record like lead single, “Talk to Me,” which reached #4 at AAA radio, and fan favorites “Dance On Mondays” and “Highway Lady,” as well as hits from their catalog including “Off the Ground” (#1 on the U.S. Billboard Alternative Songs Chart), “Rita Mae Young” (#12 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart), and “Baby, I’m Broken” (#6 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart).
Comprising Vocalist/Guitarist Chris Vos, Bassist Alex Stiff, and Drummer Marc Cazorla, TRC’s deep-rooted bond is evident in their music, akin to a supportive conversation among siblings. The 4th Album showcases this unparalleled bond further. “We know each other’s personalities on the instruments,” explains Vos, emphasizing the trust that has been their secret weapon since their inception in 2011.
Since their breakthrough 2016 debut album Give It Back To You, which earned a GRAMMY® nomination, the band has consistently delivered chart-topping tracks and performances, including their incendiary performance at Bonnaroo which was hailed by Rolling Stone Country as “a wildly energetic show and one of the most communal experiences of the festival.” The show even garnered them a spot on Rolling Stone’s “5 Best Country and Americana Moments.” The group has since shared the stage with such notable artists as John Mayer, B.B. King, Social Distortion, Bob Seger, Blackberry Smoke and many more.
Today, more than a decade since the band formed, TRC continues to invite fans to be a part of their musical journey through their stripped back approach. “We want people to feel like they’re in the house [studio] with us, being part of this unpolished and homemade thing,” said Stiff. Cazorla added, “We embrace that space as part of the raw element. That’s what we explored on this album, and it’s beautiful. We can’t wait to bring it on the road.”
