Felting for Families
Instructor: Mary Cowen

Wet felting is the ancient and magical process of turning fluffy, soft wool into strong and beautiful material. In this half-day class, child/adult pairs will work together to make strong and colorful wool bags. Students should come to class ready to have fun and work hard as they lay out colorful dyed wool around a plastic resist to be wet down and rolled back and forth until it becomes felt!
 
Your finished bag will be about the size of a pencil case, perfect for treasures of all sorts.
Dates: Saturday, Oct 18, 2014
