Learn about felting before the snow flies! An art form you can take home and enjoy doing all winter long. We will be learning two different felting techniques in these classes, wet felting and needle felting. Using needle felting in the first session and wet felting in the second session, this beginner's class will blend whimsy and utility into handmade gifts. Join textile lover Rebecca McElheny for an introduction to this easy and meditative craft.
Session One: Needle felting can be so fulfilling! Bring your shrunken wool clothing to repurpose into handmade items for the holidays. Instructor will bring additional wool and materials.
Session Two: Wet felting is just as creative and practical! Join us for making dryer balls, coasters, and felt covered soaps. These are great gifts to make and give.
The materials fee ($10) includes the basic tools to take home.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR/TEACHER:
Becky McElheny can make something out of a pile of nothing. She got her BS in Ornamental Horticulture from Delaware Valley University in Doylestown, PA. Becky maintains a homestead in Fenner where she raises cows, rabbits, food, flowers and recycles every bit of fabric into a new creation. From Becky, " Textiles have always held my fascination. They tell a story. Gram's quilts kept me warm. Mom's crocheted doll clothes made my Barbies look so fashionable. The 4-H sewing club fostered clothing construction skills in me as a teen. I found knitting and felting as a young mother, now I am enamored with cutting up felted clothing for new projects. Wool Rules!!"
