About This Workshop
PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is being hosted by Squirrelly Art Studio & Gift Shop in Sand Point, Seattle. To register and see their class policies, please use this link: https://www.hisawyer.com/squirrelly-workshop/schedules/activity-set/1621921 In this in-person workshop, we will learn the basics of the wet felting technique, then explore how to use a resist and sculptural techniques to create a statement hat with features like bumps, craters, ridges, and spikes. The workshop is limited to 10 participants and is 4 hours total, in which time you will design, layout, felt, and shape your hat! Your hat will still be damp when you leave, so prepare a spot in your home where you can leave it undisturbed to dry completely overnight. We will cover: - Patterning/planning and shrinkage - Creating 3-D features with resists - Inclusions and mixing fibers - Shaping (blocking) wet felt for drying as well as any odds and ends that come up along the way, based on the interests of the participants. The workshop fee includes 6 oz of merino wool (I will have a selection of colors on hand from which you can choose) and use of all the tools and other materials you need to complete your hat. Just bring yourself, and perhaps a waterproof apron if want to make sure your clothes stay dry! *Please Note: Wet felting does require some physical exertion, mostly upper body effort. If you have any concerns, please reach out to me before registering.* I look forward to meeting you and making things together!
