Felting is an ancient craft that uses moisture, heat, and pressure to transform wool fibres into a dense, weather-resistant material. For centuries, felt’s unique qualities have made it a popular choice for a variety of purposes including clothing, blankets, and insulation. In this program, students practise artistic expression by creating a felted piece of their own. From snakes to vessels, students will leave with a felted keepsake, a new skill, and a fresh appreciation for the tactile beauty of natural wool.
