About
This is an introductory two day wool wet-felting class. As such, no previous knowledge of the subject is necessary.
On Day One, you will learn both what wet-felting is and why wool felts, through a brief history and biology of wool. You will also learn how to layer your wool project to obtain an even thickness felt. The class will move to creating the leaves and flowers that we will apply to our work.
On Day two, we will proceed to the wet part of our felting experience. You will learn how to properly wet the fiber, the stages that wool undergoes during the felting process and the difference between a prefelt stage, soft felt, strong felt, fulling and shocking fibers.
By the end of these sessions, you will be able to embark on your very own felting adventure with the confidence you have acquired the necessary skills to continue onward.
At the end of session two, while your work will be completed it will still have residual moisture.
Please inform the team of special requirements due to shoulder or arm/hand injury that could make kneading or rolling motions difficult. Your instructor will provide mechanical rolling capabilities to make the necessary accommodations.

Veronica Lund
“I have embraced the ancient technique of wet felting to create canvases of wool and silk. My goal is to transform the fibers into pigmented brushstrokes in order to capture a body in motion or the subtle nuances of a human face.
Fibers are constantly alternating between art and artifact, between the utilitarian and the decorative. I have endeavored to bridge the chasm between brush and fiber to explore deeper relationships between humanity, nature, and technology.”
