Learn to Wet Felt with Wool! Saturday, June 20, 9 a.m. - Noon Join us in this 3-hour workshop where you’ll learn the ancient technique of wet felting, where loose wool fibers are transformed into fabric—a process used for thousands of years to create textiles such as rugs, clothing, and even yurts. Instructor Sylviane Collier will guide you step-by-step through the process, offering demonstrations and personalized support as you create your own felted “painting.” Begin by layering richly colored merino wool fibers to design your image, then use water, soap, and gentle agitation with bamboo mats to bind the fibers together.
