Welcome to my Etsy store.
1-7-2021 Update: My ETSY shop is open but I will be in the studio working on new books. I should be posting new listings mid-March if not sooner. Check my IG page for updates! Instagram.com/Chad Alice Hagen
Meanwhile back to the regularly posted announcement -
I love making books and journals. They give me a place for my morning writings, daily drawing practice and grocery lists. The feel of the paper, the marks and smells of the leathers, even the felting and dyeing of the hand made felt covers remind me that I am making a special object, a handmade object that will hopefully delight and inspire those who use it.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a sturdy lovely sketchbook that takes to watercolors and ink well. I love the size, cover and everything about it. Made extremely well. I just can’t wait to fill it with my artwork!

About ChadAliceHagen
My Esty Shop Reboot
I started my Esty shop years and years ago, maybe in 2010. There was something so exciting in seeing my hand felted, resist dyed arts felt and my handmade books all lined up on my home shop page. And of course it was exciting to start selling to folks who appreciated my work. But I also was a teacher of felting, dyeing and bookmaking and traveled throughout the states, Canada, Europe and even Australia. In the beginning it was exciting and airlines were great adventures. I also did shows mostly on the East Coast selling felt in various formats and more recently the books. But I got tired and could not keep up with my Esty shop and finally just put it on vacation.
I live and work by myself and my cat was not any help at all. I finally decided after 35 years to stop flying all over the place to teach, hauling suitcases and boxes and rusty bits up and down stairs and in and out of airports. So last year 2019 was pretty much my last away teaching. I still teach small classes here at my studio in Asheville, NC and also at a few places close enough that I can throw everything I need into my car and drive two or three hours. But mostly I have a lot more free time now to be designing books and spending time in the dye kitchen. I'm very excited about being about to re-open my Esty Shop and renew old friendships and make new ones.
