Intro to Wet Felting Workshop
Jane LaFazio
Tuesday 9 AM – 12 noon
Aug 25 (1/2 day)
San Diego/Park Blvd Studio
$50/60
Materials fee: $30 includes everything
Using colorful wool fibers, a modernized ancient technique, some creative designing and a lot of elbow grease, you will create a beautiful and feels-so-soft felt square in few hours. It may not be large enough to build a yurt; but it will make a lovely wall hanging or become part of another fiber piece. During the felting process there will be lots of time to visit and laugh with other participants and you won’t need to go to the gym to work out that day! All materials are provided for you including a selection of wool rovings and the equipment needed to create your own original 18x18” piece of hand-made felt. Wear clothes and shoes that may get wet.
