Spring Felting Sampler: Needle and Wet Felting Online Course
Course Overview
This two-session workshop will use wool to make four projects celebrating Spring! Instructor Elise will send students all the wool needed, the needles, and a few other materials. Students will learn the basics of wet felting; fulling wool, shaping and sculpting wool, mixing colors, laying out wool, different breeds of sheep, and how to needle felt flat and three dimensional pieces. The instructor will show you how to wet felt your needle felted items to make them durable and long lasting.
Together we’ll make four projects:
- Wet felting a geode egg that will be “cracked” open
- Wet felt a wool and silk flower
- Needle felting a small impressionistic painting of spring
- Needle felt a 3-d bunny rabbit
No felting skill is necessary. Experienced felters are encouraged to play. Students will likely discover new tricks and be guaranteed to have fun.
