For 2027, our fourth period fiber class for everyone focuses on wet felting, with a side of needle felting!

This is a fun and accessible craft with endless possibilities. Wet felting lets you create a dense, sturdy material – even in three dimensions! It works based on the same phenomenon that causes a wool sweater to shrink in the wash, by causing the scales on the outsides of the fibers to grab onto each other. It lets you blend and layer colors while sculpting the shape you want.

Combining it with needle felting gives you more options for more intricate designs and patterns – like painting with wool.

Wet felting is also a perfect vehicle for experiencing the genre of work song known as “waulking” songs, sung while fulling woven wool fabric.

No experience is necessary, and we’ll provide everything you need. Just bring your own creativity!
