Abstract Felt Art

Single Session Class

Saturday, July 23, 12:00pm – 4:00pm

Create an abstract art piece using the wet felting process. This is a project full of creative potential for your own one of-a-kind piece perfect for hanging as artistic décor. Instruction and demonstration will include wool layout, adding surface designs such as prefelts and silk, how to add resists for a ‘cracked mud’ effect, adding soapy water, rolling, and fulling, as well as healing cut or uneven edges. Examples will be provided to show what can be made during the class and offer inspiration, and though projects samples vary based on the layout and final fulling process, the approx. size is 12”x12”. Though beginners and those with little felting experience are certainly welcome, it will be helpful to gain a basic understanding of what wet felting is prior to the class. This project requires upper body physical activity to complete; it can be tiring.
