Winter Solstice Felted Lights with Liz Canali

Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025 | 10:30am - 1:00pm

Celebrate the upcoming Winter Solstice - the longest night of the year – with beautiful, unique felted lights in this introduction to illuminated felt. Winter solstice lights symbolize the return of longer, sunnier days and the turning of the seasons after the longest night of the year. Using the resist method of wet felting, wool, viscose, bamboo and tussah silk you will create your one-of-a-kind solstice light.

What is a resist? It is a waterproof barrier between layers of wool used to create 3D shapes from a flat pattern. Learn how to layout a piece on a flat resist and properly full it so that it can be opened up into a beautiful 3-D light.

Class tuition includes all felting materials, but students should bring one bath towel and two hand towels. A list of lamp base options will be provided and some will be available for sale during the workshop. If students own a light base they’d like to use, please bring it. This workshop is appropriate for all levels of experience. .

Registration will close when class is full.
