FALL ADULTS: Introduction to Wet Felting - Part 1
Course Description:
Are you curious about wet felting? How is it possible to transform fluffy unspun sheep’s wool into a strong and durable fabric? Felt-making is both an ancient technique and a modern one, bridging both practical craft and art-making.Through weekly explorations, we will learn basic techniques in two and three dimensions, and experiment with several methods of surface design. Students will acquire knowledge and skills to help make this beautiful medium their own.
Note: Part 2 will be a continuation of Part 1 for those who wish to dig a little deeper into wet felting techniques.
