Discover the expressive and enjoyable craft of wet felting, as we warm up by sculpting an aesthetic and charming array of colorful creatures. Using recycled wool, students will make a rough animal form, then apply dyed wool roving over the form and through the mysterious process of agitation with hot water and soap, a felted creature will emerge. Building upon these elemental skills, students will progress to nuno felting which combines silk and wool to create a durable, warm and elegant fabric. The goal - using this technique to create a warm, whimsical scarf. Nuno felting is especially exciting because it is a bit like painting with wool on a silk canvas. Students are invited to bring silk, organza, nylon or chiffon scarves they would like to embellish with wool fibers. If you have never tried felting before, this will be a great introduction. If you have experience, you will thoroughly enjoy the creative process and stretch your skills.
