Description
Wrap colorful merino wool around a 3″ plastic ball, cover it with hose, wet it, and bounce it, creating your own unique felt objects. In this fun evening mini‑workshop, participants can form felt balls, vessels, treasure bags, or even finger puppets. There will be time to create at least two or three pieces. The basics of forming handmade felt will be presented, as well as color blending, introducing other fibers, and creating custom shapes.
Please bring an old towel and a plastic bag. (Grocery store bags are fine.) Beginners are welcome.

Gika, thanks for sharing this with me!!
Hi Gika….well, even tho it’s not Monday, “I’m trying to make progress.” We’re in the progress of packing up five bedrooms of stuff into three. Yes, we’re moving to Port Aransa and be beach bums.
Your blog is wonderful. I’ll always have so many fond memories of you, but please continue to share all of your know-how…..we sure appreciate it.
I’ve been inspired to do felting, but do it the hard way needling, knitting, and by machine.
Take special care….special Lady…………..Sue
