FELTING WORKSHOPS

FELTED BOWLS In this workshop, 18 participants created a delightful assortment of bowls using wool roving and a center disc of bubble wrap, as well as lots of soapy water, elbow grease and good humor. The bowls are fun and easy to make, and allow much leeway for creative expression. Our bowls included wool dyed with Dermocybes, Phaeolus schweinitzii, Naematoloma fasciculare, Boletus edulis, and others. The workshop was led by Felicity Waterman, organized by Karen Inwood, and assisted by Laine Escola.
2) Create a Scarf of Felted Wool on Silk A magic process happened with soap, hot water and agitation: wool fibers and silk fabric will become one. We each designed a 1 foot by 6 foot scarf.	FELTED SCARVES - with Julie Schleuder 1) Warm, Wooly, Wispy Wraps We made a 1 foot by 6 foot hand felted scarf, which can be worn around the neck, head or waist. We used wool roving strips to create our designs with raw white wool, different shades of brown wool and of course mushroom dyed wool available for color embellishments.
