Felted Vessels

Students will design and create a hollow, seamless vessel and embellish it with needle-felting, wet-felted elements, and found materials. Explore different animal fibers and the history and basics of both wet and dry felting. We will immerse ourselves in the entire process of preparing wool for felting, pulling it into a vessel shape and unleashing creative spontaniety.

All materials for the felting process will be provided. We will be working primarily with wool from my flock of Jacob sheep. If you would like to incorporate a small trinket or charm on your vessel, please bring that. Also, bring patience and imagination!
