Felted Earrings Workshop - Using special Merino wool, students will learn “wet-felting” techniques to create a pair of unique earrings. This technique involves rolling the wool in warm, soapy water. It is a gentle and comfortable technique allowing the wool fibers to interlock with dense material as a result. Yet, these earrings are extremely lightweight. You’ll choose from a colorful array of soft wool for your earrings to suit that “difficult to accessorize” outfit or for the season. Hypoallergenic pierced or clip-on posts provided. Come by yourself or with a group of friends! No experience necessary.
Paint & Sculpt with Wool - Explore the magical medium of wool that is full of painterly qualities. The technique of needle felting enables you to build up textures and colors with colorful wool. The forgiving qualities of this medium will help you express your ideas as you create a low relief or three-dimensional sculpture, a textured painting or tapestry. Think outside the box and let your creativity flow. Whether you keep or give as a gift, your projects will be unique and colorful. Instructor: Robin McCahill (5 weeks) No Class: 11/28
