Explore three-dimensional wet felting while creating a seamless vessel or bowl! Starting with dry wool fiber, you’ll learn how to shingle your layout and then how to insert a resist – the magic that allows you to create dimension from a flat pattern. Then you’ll use wet felting techniques to transform the wool into prefelt, remove the resist, and finish the felting process. Along the way, you can add embellishment fibers to add surface design interest to your unique and wonderful piece.
