Price includes most materials. Bring interesting yarns you might want to incorporate into your piece, and a dowel or driftwood if you’d like for hanging. Materials also available for purchase. Lunch break: bring your own (fridge and microwave available, plus snacks and tea) or order from local restaurants.
Join Becky as she shows you how to create a felted wall hanging! This piece will include some silk and funky yarns for you to incorporate.
In this class, we will learn about the properties of wool and how it becomes felt, combining fine merino with silk fabrics to create a flexible piece that also has structural integrity. You will use soap, water, and agitation to create your fabric. You will learn the fundamentals of fiber layout, choosing materials for your project, and will learn skills that will be applicable to future felting projects.
This is a wet-felting class, AND VERY PHYSICAL, so come prepared with work/play shoes and clothes and an old towel or two.
