Wet-felting with Texture

Felting is the most ancient method of creating textiles. With water, soap, and agitation, you can transform loose wool fibers into a durable, sturdy fabric – and discover endless possibilities for creative expression with color, form, and texture. In this class, we’ll add silk fibres, fabric, yarn, and other materials to our wool to make gorgeous textured features. You'll go home with a table runner or wall hanging.

Taught by Lisa Heineman, Sunday, March 1, 12-4 pm.

Note: Wet felting can be a strenuous activity, involving a lot of standing, rolling, and kneading. If you have any questions about the physical component, please don’t hesitate to contact the instructor in advance @ lisa.heineman@proton.me. The class fee includes all materials.
