Felted Beads and Bangles

In this class, students will learn the basics of making felt from wool fibers, and then create a beautiful and unique piece of wearable art! You will learn how to make felted cords that become bracelets, and then make felted beads that can be used on the bracelets or separately. Art is therapy, and felting is contagious! You will have fun, get funky with fibers, and work with your hands to create something new.

All students must bring the following to class: two bath towels, a small bucket for water, a small container of dish soap, and a small bamboo sushi mat. Roving (fiber) 3 oz Merino fiber can be found on Livingfelt.com or FeltriteFibers on Etsy, or can be purchased directly from the teacher for $25 per person which you will indicate upon registration. Please DO NOT use any fibers that are not specific about the breed of wool (ie, Merino). Generally, fibers purchased from hobby stores are not good for wet felting. There is a $5 materials fee that will be automatically added upon registration for all participants, for bubble wrap and resist material.
