Learn the basics of felting to create beautiful two and three-dimensional artwork using wool.
What is Felting?
Felting is an ancient technique to create fabric that has been around since at least 6500 BCE! Felt is a non-woven textile made of wool or animal fur. There are different ways to create felt: one is with soap and water, and another is with a felting needle. Regardless of the process, the action of felting binds fibers together creating a permanent bond, and making the felting process irreversible.
If you have never tried needle-felting, it can be quite a calming, enjoyable, and meditative process despite its repetitive motions.
In this two-hour class where we will explore and experiment with needle felting to create one two-dimensional and one three-dimensional artwork.
