  Wet Felting a vessel

  taught by Cynthia Mulvaney

  This course is for everyone from curious beginners to experienced fiber artists! We will take raw wool and fun embellishments to create a beautiful art vessel (similar to a pottery bowl, except made of felted wool!) Using a variety of techniques, you’ll learn how to transform wool into felt and make your own custom vessel which you can use to hold trinkets, dried flowers or just for a beautiful decoration in your home!

  You’ll learn about the various types of wool, embellishments and supplies used in wet felting along with all the techniques, such as ‘shingling’, wetting, rolling, in order to create your finished product.. Skills you can use in your own future use to wet felt objects at home!

  Students must bring their own bath-size towel (as it’s not called ‘wet’ felting for nothing, ha!). All other supplies for this class will be provided.
