Wet felting is a physical activity. It’s a party for your arms!!
Description:
In this fun class you will learn introductory wet felting skills that include using a round, flat resist. The resist will allow you to fashion a woolen orb. When completed, it will resemble a hollow snowball and maintain its shape. You’ll fill the orb with fairy lights and voila! – the orb will glow from within. How cool is that??!! These winter lights make gorgeous holiday decorations, especially when grouped and paired with evergreen branches.
All materials and equipment will be provided by the instructor.
