Learn wet felting by turning wool fluff and other embellishment materials into a beautiful transparent fiber sculpture that will be illuminated from within by a portable light. Your finished piece doubles as an art sculpture and light in your home, and you’ll walk away with the knowledge necessary to continue your wet felting journey on your own.

No experience necessary! You will be using sheep wool and other embellishing fibers to design your felted fiber lamp. Wet felting by hand uses your hands and arms to rub, roll, and form the wool fibers into a ball shaped sculpture. This process doesn’t require a lot of arm strength, but please be aware that your hands / arms may get tired. Breaks are encouraged so that no one gets too tired to finish their project.

Please bring three (3) thin dish towels to stuff into your finished light to keep the desired shape while your sculpture dries.

FEE: $94 – includes all other materials plus the light. Please purchase tickets below.

INSTRUCTOR NAME: Lucy Huckery

Lucy makes eco-printed and felted fiber art creations that are both beautiful and functional. Three years ago, she discovered eco printing (botanical contact printing) and began experimenting on paper using leaves, bark, flowers, and seeds she found in nature. When she tried bundling these same botanicals on fabric, a world of possibilities opened up, and she decided to tailor her craft to focus on fiber art. Today, Lucy transforms eco-printed fabric and handmade felt into functional items such as trivets, coasters, placemats, purses, table runners, glasses cases, pin cushions, and scarves.
