Explore the rich, sculptural shaping, layered textures and dimensions for surface design available, using felt making techniques to create lavish personally designed fabric. This 2 day immersion workshop allows time for instruction on technique, demonstrations and daily work time for your projects. Each day students will explore a new technique and then build one upon the next. Students will fuse silk or other “breathable” cloth and Merino wool using wet felt techniques to create new cloth. The dryer method will be used as an adjunct to felting and fulling the project(s). Additional surface design elements will be created using needle and thread, embellishments of yarn, lace, beads or ribbon to control lines of design. Each piece of finished felted fabric can be used as wall art or become part of a garment.
Prerequisite: at least 10 hours of felting experience.
Class Fee: $300 + $20 fiber kit fee to instructor + Materials

Tess McGuire says
I’m interested in Marilou Moschetti’s felting class Oct. 8&9 but I’m just not quite sure about my schedule yet. Do you expect the class to fill up soon?

If you would like to go ahead and register but then something comes up in your schedule, we will need two weeks notice to process a full refund for you.
