Wet Felted Hand Puppets and Oven Mitts
Course Overview
Make a playful puppet or a pair of practical oven mitts. The puppet and the oven mitt both begin with a similar base of colorful wool, wet felted around a resist. Add eyes, ears, tails and your oven mitt becomes a puppet! Students choose which one you would like to make, design your project and learn the basic skill of wet felting a three dimensional piece. This is a good introductory class of wet felting over a resist and may lead students to making other three dimensional felted projects. Come have fun and enjoy what everyone in the class creates!
