Wet felting fun!
Join us for a creative time around wool and fellowship this December 4, from 5-8pm!
In this workshop you will learn the ancient art of wet felting — the process of loose wool becoming a fabric (felt). This textile art technique has been used for millenniums in the making of rugs, clothing, and homes (yurts).
Instructor Sylviane Collier will demonstrate the technique, taking you step-by-step through the project and providing guidance along the way so you may enjoy the creative process and let your inner artist take the lead.
First you will create your own picture by layering wool fibers (you will have a wide selection of dyed merino wool to choose from) to finish with the binding of all the fibers using a wet felting technique.
We will use bamboo mats, water and soap for the felting process. It is not a messy process, just a wet one. Towels will be provided.
Each student will create a one-of-a-kind 8”x 8” “painting.” Images of flowers, landscapes and animals will be provided for inspiration. Students are also welcome to bring their own.
A material fee of $10 (cash only) to be paid to the instructor at the start of the class.
No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome!
