Felted Vessels
Taught by Laurel Orthmeyer

Saturday - All day, beginning at 9:00am      
No prior felting experience is necessary
Class Fee: $40

Cutting holes in felt?  Jewels and fabrics peeking out of felted fabric??  Class participants will use needle felting and wet felting to create a unique felt vessel.  The shaping of the vessel is up to the felter and we'll learn the nuts and bolts (literally) of shaping hard felt.  Fiber is available from vendors at the festival (cost should be around $5 as you will need 4oz).  Instructor will supply felting needle, foam and embellishments. Be prepared for some exercise while rolling the felt.

Material fee $15, bring hard rubber mat (like those used to hold muddy boots,) and sharp embroidery scissors.
