Wet felting is one of the simplest and most satisfying ways to make fabric. You’ll end the day with an 11x17 (ish, shrinkage is a bit hard to predict) piece of intricate hand-made fabric of your own design and all the knowledge you need to easily replicate this process at home. We’ll also look at some artists who use wet felting in experimental ways in their practices, as well as some examples of what you can do with your felted fabric after class! Bring a towel and come ready to get your hands wet!

This class is taught by visiting artist Evie Hidysmith. Evie has developed this class based on her art practice - this is the only time she will be teaching this here at Alchemy, so if you are interested, be sure to sign up!

This class is held in the print shop on the AAC campus. Directions and parking information will be included in your confirmation email.

Date:

Saturday 7/19 from 2-5pm.

Registration: Please register early if you are able, as it helps us to assure that classes meet their minimums in order to run! If you register more than three weeks before this class begins, a 20% early bird discount will automatically be applied to your ticket at checkout.

A Note on Ticket Pricing: We are offering sliding scale tickets in order to keep our classes accessible to as many community members as possible. There are three price tiers. Sustaining tickets help us continue to invest in programming. Full price tickets cover the costs associated with running classes. Accessibility tickets are priced below what it costs for us to run a class. If the cost of a full price ticket is a hardship, we encourage you to purchase a sliding scale ticket. If you can pay the full price or sustaining price, please choose that option so we can keep providing arts programming to the community.

Tuition Assistance: Tuition assistance is available for Alchemy classes and workshops if finances are a barrier. Apply for tuition assistance here.
