Learn the basic techniques used to transform raw sheep wool into felt. In a series of demonstrations Ashley will show how to create a simple flat piece of felt, how to felt a 3 dimensional object like a vessel or garment, and how to felt around an object. Students will then have the opportunity to felt something using one of the three techniques. Please bring a towel and an object should you choose to felt around one. |
