Dawn Edwards
Thursday All Day
Come and learn the basics of wet-felting, or expand your knowledge, in this fun-filled one-day workshop. During our felt exploration, we will create a fabulous spiral pleated/accordion fold wearable art hat. This is a great introduction to 3-D felting…Watch as our flat felt pieces become three-dimensional and wearable. You will love the artistic possibilities, with functionality as an added bonus.
Skill level: Suitable for all levels. Some standing involved. We will be rolling our felt which requires some physical exertion. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothes.
Material Fee: $25
- Beautiful Australian Merino wool top (Variegated/Space
Dyed). I will email several color choices for you to choose from prior to our workshop. - Written instructions.
