2023 CONFERENCE SESSION

SESSION: Works of Art with Wool

Join me and two of my favourite artists to learn wet felting for ages 2‐100! Wet felting involves agitating wool with water and friction. With some simple supplies: roving wool, hand towels, plastic sandwich baggies, warm water and liquid soap, you will learn how to turn raw wool into works of art. During our session we will demonstrate landscape art, but we will also share samples of portraits and
landscapes we have created in  previous years to give you a springboard for ideas. Grab your aprons and jump in!

  • Mono Printing (Ages 2+)
  • Polysterene Printing (Ages 4+)
  • Lino Printing (Suggested for Ages 8+ or art enthusiasts who are confident with safety)
