Fiber and Flow: Create a Tapestry Through Wet Felting
Visiting Artist-Textiles | Available
Guided by Fiber Artist Samara Johnson, with both meditative and movement experiences, students will learn how to felt a small tapestry surface using both wet-felting and needle-felting techniques with sheep’s wool. Participants will be encouraged to create work based on an imaginary, abstract, or realistic concept. This body-mind practice will result in a unique felted wall-hanging as well as confidence in art making through communal experiential learning. Samara is an energetic teacher and will demonstrate both wet and needle felting techniques. All supplies included. Ages 15 and up.
