About this event
Step into the art of wet-felting, where wool transforms into botanical forms inspired by the forest floor—moss, seedpods, fungi, and bark. Create vessels that feel grown rather than made in a welcoming workshop for all skill levels. Felt, one of the oldest fiber arts dating back to 6500 BC, continues to fascinate today. *Students should bring: 2-3 bath size towels, a Laundry sprinkler bottle or Ballbrause water sprinkler. (There will be several which may be shared if you don’t have one), a plastic bucket/pail to hold water, a simple sewing kit and sharp pointy scissors. OPTIONAL: The instructor will have Dawn dish soap to share but if you prefer a different soap for felting feel free to bring it. *Please note the workshops involves some standing. We will be rolling our felt which requires some physical exertion. *Class price includes materials fee. Dawn Edwards is a felt artist and tutor based in Plainwell, Michigan USA. She sells her work under the label ‘Felt So Right’ and teaches extensively within the USA and internationally including Australia, Denmark, Ireland, North Ireland and Chile. Her felt art has appeared in numerous exhibitions, shows, magazines and books, including Ellen Bakker's book, Worldwide Colours of Felt, several issues of the Australian 'FELT' Magazine, the International Feltmakers Association 'Felt Matters' journal, and the Handweavers Guild of America (HGA) journal 'Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot'. Dawn’s felt vessel, ‘The Earth Beneath My Feet’ as well as her 'Blue Coral' felt hat were both chosen as juried selections for FELT: Fiber Transformed in the magazine, ‘Fiber Art Now.
