Wet felting is an ancient and magical artform which utilizes fluffs of wool and water to create a
dense fabric known as felt. In this workshop, Nanette will guide participants through the felting
process to create colorful, one-of-a-kind, felted wool wallets. The wet-felting technique is easy,
playful, and produces surprising original designs. The resulting wallets make great keepers of
spare change, earbuds (in-ear headphones), keys or other small treasures and are perfect for gift
giving.
