Having creative FUN with fiber! Your choice on the hand felted project you make: a felted Trivet or felted Glasses Case or a felted Sculpture. Unleash your creativity with shape, design and color using sheep wool and other embellishing sustainable fibers.
You do not need any experience to take this class, however, please read the “physical requirements disclaimer” in the prerequisites section below before signing up for this class.
Experience the feel of the natural fibers while you create a colorful and beautiful fabric item for you or your home. The method we will be following is called “wet felting”. We will overlap layers of wool, add soap and water, and then rub and roll the piece until it becomes fabric or “felted”. You don’t have to have a lot of hand or arm strength for this class; however, you will use your hands to place layers of wool down and then rub, roll and shape it to completion. So please refer to the prerequisites below for physical requirements. As an added benefit, you will leave this class with the knowledge of how to replicate this process at home.

Please be advised that this is a labor intensive class and requires a significant amount of physical labor with the use of your hands and arms. If you have any physical limitations that would prevent you from heavy use of your hands or arms over a 4 hour period of time – this wet felting class will probably not be a good fit for you.
