Dawn Edwards
Friday All Day
In this workshop, we will create a small felt vessel with a texture resembling the forest floor. We will form our 3D wet-felted vessels using a flat resist. Felting with a resist will produce a seamless, hollow shape. This is a great introduction to 3D felting …Watch as our flat felt pieces become three-dimensional.
Skill level: Suitable for all levels. We will be rolling our felt which requires some physical exertion. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothes.
