About

You'll create a 2D decorative table piece using the traditional method of wet felting. Felting is the interlocking of wool fiber, which results in shrinkage, which produces a resilient, shapeable fabric. You'll learn the basic skills of felting wool fiber with water, soap, heat, and friction.

These centerpieces are easy, quick, don't take a lot of special equipment, and make great gifts. Once you learn the felting process, you can create them at home.

A $20 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, will cover instructor-provided materials including:
