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 and/or eyeglass cases. The wet-felting technique is easy,
playful, and produces surprising original designs. The smaller wallets make great keepers of
spare change, earbuds, keys or other small treasures and the larger cases, of course, work beautifully for sunglasses –  are perfect for gift giving.

In this workshop, each participant will have the opportunity to create 2 pieces, a small wallet suitable for airpods and/or a case for your glasses. All supplies and tools are included. Wooden button closures are included, but participants are welcome to bring 1-2 of their own decorative buttons (3/4″ to 1” diameter).

Please bring 2 or 3 thick old bath towels.
Optional: Consider bringing an apron and vinyl (or latex) gloves to keep dry.

If you have questions, the odds are good that others do to – feel free to ask! Tea, coffee, and bottled water is available. Please arrive by about 15 minutes before the class starts, so we can start on time.

This class is suitable for adults and mature young adults only.
