Introduction to Wet Felting | Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025 | 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM | 16 State Street (Upstairs)
Learn the basics of making the world's oldest fabric! Remains of wool felt have been found in Turkey dating back to 6,500 B.C.E. Unlike weaving or knitting, unspun wool fibers are bound together to create a strong fabric. Join Amy Reisman of Franklin Street Farm as she demonstrates wet felting, a process that uses soap, water, and friction to bind the fibers. Participants will take home two different styles of felt. If there’s time, Amy will teach how to make a mini-person with wool!
This class will focus on Wet Felting, a process that uses soap, water and friction to bind the fibers.
Please bring a small bucket or tub that can hold a gallon of water and an old towel. Be aware that your hands will be in soapy water through much of the process.
Limited to 6 people. $30 per ticket.
