Wet Felting 101

In this class you will be guided step by step to design and wet felt your own image with the colors of your choosing!  This fabric could become a piece of wall art or you could use it to create something else by sewing or collage.  For this workshop, you get to experiment and play with texture and color while learning a new technique.  Come learn this fun relaxing art form while being creative in a group setting.  Please bring a towel to work on your project, and all other materials provided.
