Come and create a delightful hand puppet in this wet felting class! The instructor has templates for a bird, a wolf and a sheep, but you can also design your own creature. This is an intermediate class requiring experience in making felt and using resists. Contact the instructor if you have questions about whether or not you have the necessary experience. Be sure to bring water and snacks/lunch as wet felting is very demanding physically.
Instructor's name
Miriam Young - Using the traditional crafts of felting, knitting, crocheting, macrame, and embroidery, I create fiber art. My most recent work involves wet felting and nuno felting. Felting is transformation. Thin, fragile wool roving is transformed into strong and vibrant felt by my hands, soap, water and agitation. The colors, textures, thickness of the product, and ultimate shape of the felt are determined by me and the techniques that I use to create it. I feel that I am creating something at a very fundamental level when I am felting.
