Presentation by Valerie McClean: (at the morning meeting)
Ever wonder how you felt something that is 3 dimensional and it doesn’t felt together, or how to make a pocket, a coat or hat. What do you use and why that and not something else? Once you understand this and the technique you can felt just about any shape. Come on the first Saturday in April and see several things that have been made using a resist, sample of resists and the size the finished product started out as before the shrinkage. See you then, and bring your questions.

Felting a three-dimensional vessel
This will be a basic felting workshop for a three-dimensional vessel using wool roving and a flat resist. Students will gain an understanding of and the techniques involved with the construction of a vessel such as bowls, hats, bags and totes.
Initially, students will be making the same vessel using a resist in the shape of a circle but each participant will decide where the opening will be and how the vessel will be embellished. All wool and embellishments will be provided.
Two weeks before class, Valerie will send out a list of supplies for each participant is to bring. These are items you have at home: olive oil bar of soap, or liquid or bar of Ivory soap, or liquid Palmolive soap, a small bucket or tub to hold your water in and a couple of towels for water spills.
No Materials Fee. All felting materials are included with the workshop fee. In order to reserve placement in the workshop, please sign up by March 16, 2019[
