About this event
Step into the colorful world of wet felting and create a one-of-a-kind hat that’s equal parts wearable art and fiber sculpture. In this creative one-day workshop, we will transform Merino wool into a beautifully structured spiral-pleated hat using classic wet-felting techniques. Whether you’re brand new to felting or looking to expand your skills, this workshop offers an exciting dive into 3D construction, shaping, and surface design. Watch as your flat layout come to life as you sculpt a hat that’s bold, playful, and uniquely you. Perfect for anyone who loves the joy of making wearable art by hand. You will love the artistic possibilities, with functionality as an added bonus *Students should bring: 2-3 bath size towels, a Laundry sprinkler bottle or Ballbrause water sprinkler. (There will be several which may be shared if you don’t have one), a plastic bucket/pail to hold water, sharp pointy scissors, and a black Sharpie marker. *Please note the workshops involves some standing. We will be rolling our felt which requires some physical exertion. *Class price includes materials fee. Dawn Edwards is a felt artist and tutor based in Plainwell, Michigan USA. She sells her work under the label ‘Felt So Right’ and teaches extensively within the USA and internationally including Australia, Denmark, Ireland, North Ireland and Chile. Her felt art has appeared in numerous exhibitions, shows, magazines and books, including Ellen Bakker's book, Worldwide Colours of Felt, several issues of the Australian 'FELT' Magazine, the International Feltmakers Association 'Felt Matters' journal, and the Handweavers Guild of America (HGA) journal 'Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot'. Dawn’s felt vessel, ‘The Earth Beneath My Feet’ as well as her 'Blue Coral' felt hat were both chosen as juried selections for FELT: Fiber Transformed in the magazine, ‘Fiber Art Now.
