Wet Felted Pebble Pods

Single Session

Saturday, June 24, 1:00pm-3:30pm

Working with wool, using the wet felting process opens up a host of creative possibilities, and that's what this class is about. Instruction and demonstration includes the wool layout for creating a 3D object, using a resist, adding soapy water, rolling, fulling, and shaping the finished felt piece to form a unique, small vessel, or pod. Though completed sizes and shapes will vary, the average size is 4-5" long and 3" high. Plenty of wool colors will be available to choose from and examples will be provided.
