Wet Felting Exploration: Sauna and Santa

Please note that this program has been cancelled. 

Choose your adventure in this two-day wet felting class. Students who are feeling festive may choose to felt an elf or Santa hat, elf slippers, or chimney stocking. Sauna-inspired students can create a sauna ensemble, including a wool sauna hat and slipper set. Wet felting three-dimensional objects is an exciting transformation of wool fiber. Led by felting instructor Elise Kyllo, students begin with a small 3-D object to practice, before moving on to create larger wearable items. Students will create custom resists for their hats and footwear, as they design them to fit themselves, how they will be used, and their aesthetic.
