Discover the basics of wet felting. You’ll arrange and layer wool and other materials to create one or two small pieces of felt art (approximately 10” square).

In this class, you’ll transform your wet felted art piece(s) into a wall hanging. Using vintage buttons, beads, hand embroidery and stitching, you’ll create texture and interest. Pieces of driftwood will be available to use as a hanger. If you have any special beads or buttons (or a wonderful piece of wood/driftwood/metal for a hanger) that you would like to include, bring them to the class.
