The Art of Wet Felt Making:  Making Large and Highly Decorative Wall Hangings
Karoliina Arvilommi and Roderick Welch, Instructor(s)
October 27-31, 2012

We will make highly decorative, thick, durable felt with turned edges, of any shape or form using traditional "Wet-felting" methods. Built up using Finnwool batt, wet-out and felted to completion using a combination of hand and rolling techniques.  A fusion of fibre blending and “painting” are used to translate the participant’s design into felt.  Learn a high degree of control of colour, design and form, without any supplementary cutting, sewing, or needle felting. The emphasis is on quality and control. This method and technique can be applied to many other ways of feltmaking. “…from here you can go anywhere…”  We ask all participants to have some kind of design idea prepared before the workshop begins. A rough sketch and basic colour plan is enough.

Student skill level:  Some experience or boundless energy and enthusiasm…

 Material Fee:  $50 - $120 (depending on size of project) to be paid in cash (cannot accept checks) directly to the instructor(s).  See the supply list for what is covered in the fee.
