Objectives:
This workshop introduces participants to the ancient technique of wet felting, focusing on sculpting wool into seamless 3D vessels. We’ll start with a brief introduction to the history and significance of felting across cultures, followed by a hands-on demonstration of layering wool, shaping forms around a resist, and using warm, soapy water to bind fibers together. Through guided instruction, you’ll explore techniques for controlling texture, structure, and color blending, allowing you to create a personalized felt vessel that symbolizes transformation and containment.
