Leslie Granbeck
Felt a bowl using wool and silk fibers that resembles a colorful sea anemone! Without using a resist, explore how the direction you place the wool and the number of layers used, holds the secret to this lovely shape. Students will learn the fundamentals of differential shrinkage which can be applied to create a variety of shapes and forms in felting. Please note: some physical stamina needed for felting classes. Students will be standing for periods of time and using upper body movements (arms & shoulders) to roll the felt back and forth. All levels welcome.
Materials fee of $25 payable to the instructor at the start of class by cash or check only.
