Studio Workshop Experience!

There are many different Level 1, beginning projects to choose from. All projects take 3 or more hours to complete.  

Some examples include: Harbor Seals, Humorous Bear or Dog, Penguin adult and child, Sleepy Mice or Rabbits. Otter Pins, and Heart Pins are of fun to wear or give.

Another wonderful option is Flat-felting a two-dimensional landscape or other scenes can be created. This is also known as "Flat-Felting". 

Always very enjoyable.

Felted wool is thought to be the oldest hand-made fabric in the world. It first developed during the Neolithic period, and we have actual samples dating back to the Bronze Age. It was probably developed in Central Asia, when herders packed their shoes with raw wool to increase comfort. Herders found that after some time, the movement and the sweat agitated the wool and matted the fibers together. This formed the soft warm wool fabric, we call felt!

All wool fibers have microscopic scales, which tend to tangle the wools fibers together. The wool fibers can be tanged by two different processes: wet felting, where the simple agitation of wet wool creates felt (as in the story discussed above), or by dry felting, where a sharp needle with little barbs is used to tangle the wool fibers tougher. Pacia uses the dry felting technique.

I offer scheduled, twice-monthly workshops in the Idofelt studio for up to 5 participants.

Smaller workshops can be scheduled by calling to arrange.

Larger workshops can be scheduled for up tp 10 participants in the Art Center's classroom . Call to schedule.

These sessions provide a unique opportunity to explore the art of felting and unleash your creativity.
