Felting Workshop

Wool Education and Felting - Felt is not your standard precut sheets from the store. Study the ancient, sustainable art form of felting as we create functional pieces of art using materials direct from their source! Participants will learn about and work with raw sheep wool from our 3 ewes: Clover, Peach, and Hazelnut. Using wool, soap, and water we will make one of a kind pieces of felt.

Revive the Roots and Artists' Exchange brought sheep to Mowry Commons in 2017! This program involves individuals from local group homes in the Smithfield area, who come to Mowry Commons daily, to care for and learn about sheep. The wool which is sheared from the sheep twice a year is used for arts programming in part with the Artists Exchange.
