Felted Kitchen Textiles

Adorn your kitchen with practical and beautiful felted objects. Wool felt is ideal for the kitchen since this fiber is durable, easy to clean, non-flammable, anti-microbial, and doesn’t absorb odors. Led by felting instructor Elise Kyllo and using wool as their creative medium, students will wet felt colorful and artistic designs in a useful form, choosing from potholders, trivets, placemats, or seat cozies. Depending upon the size and your pace, more than one item may be made.
