This class will cover both needle and wet felting with a focus on 3D objects. We will use mostly wool but will also incorporate other natural fibers, fabric, and found objects. No previous fibers experience is necessary. Students will learn to make wearable items and felted sculpture. This will be a social working environment. The first 30-45 minutes of each class will be dedicated to demonstration and discussion. The rest of class time will be for individual work on projects and to practice techniques.

What you will learn:
1. Needle felting
2. Wet felting flat
3. Wet felting 3D
4. Wet felting around objects
5. Incorporating other materials

Please note: this is a 4-session course. Fleisher will be closed on Monday, May 29 in observance of Memorial Day.
