Join Guest Teaching Artist Flóra Carlile-Kovács in this one-day wet felting workshop to create complex wearable-art shapes inspired by nature. Learn to manipulate felt–sometimes referred to as the “clay of textiles”–into a small felted 3D pendant with a rigged, pleated surface. Work with super-extra-fine 16 micron merino wool, soap, water, and agitation, to experience how loose fibers will tangle and shrink, becoming very strong and yet still malleable. Basic understanding of wet felting is useful. This workshop is not as physically demanding as the Felt Your Dreams! rug workshop; students can work comfortably seated at a table.
Materials fee: $10, payable to the instructor at the time of class.

Instructor Bio:
The award winner of several wearable art shows, Flóra Carlile-Kovács (she/her) is a professional felt artist born in Szeged, Hungary, now living and working in Seattle, WA. In her work she incorporates two bodies of knowledge, the nomadic traditions and the urban, modern style of feltmaking. Coming from the European tradition of craftsmanship and quality, she is constantly experimenting with ways to improve not only the visual artistic aspect of her work, but also its physical integrity as a functional object appropriate for everyday use. Her enthusiasm spans the miles as she leads two Felt Tours to Hungary each year. florafelts.com
