So, you add soap, water and agitation to a bunch of wool and you get a beautiful piece of felt? YES!!! Learn the basics of layout, edges, shrinkage and wool types. Embellish with yarns, silk, bamboo, viscose and more while creating a small wall hanging. Use your own photo as inspiration or play with color and texture for a unique abstract look . Explore the endless possibilities of wet felting! This workshop is for felting beginners

What students should bring to class:

  • 2 large towels and 2 hand towels (they can be old!)
  • Optional: scraps of yarn, silk and any wool you might want to use
  • Photos for inspiration
  • Palm sander (If you have one, otherwise there will be extras to borrow)

Registration will close when workshop is full.
