About

Build up from the basics! You'll start by wet felting and needle felting hand soaps, meaning you cover a bar of soap with wool fibers and use hot water, soap, and friction to shrink and interlock the wool, creating a decorative washcloth around the soap. Then you'll work with that technique to decorate dryer balls/ornaments. Finally, you'll have a go at creating cute and fuzzy 3D friends. 

At the end of the week, you'll take home at least three finished projects, along with the skills to make many more. You, too, can make beautiful and functional items by ferociously stabbing 100% wool roving (a soft, fluffy rope of wool fiber resembling a 1- to 2-inch-thick rope or cotton candy) with a barbed needle!

Details

Instructor
Alison Waller

Originally from Yorkshire, UK, Alison lived in China for several years before moving to Puget Sound in 2019 with her husband and two young children. She has enjoyed knitting, crochet, and working with beads since childhood, but it wasn't until moving to Washington that she tried weaving. In the last four years, she's become obsessed both with making baskets and making fiber on a floor loom or rigid heddle loom. She has taken classes with many local and nationally recognized weavers at BARN, developing her skills as a weaver and a teacher. She’s now delighted to serve as the weaving coordinator in the Fiber Arts Studio, where she also teaches rigid heddle and floor loom classes.
