Participants will concentrate on the fundamentals of wet felting in 2-D, creating landscape pieces that may be hung or may become the basis for making book covers, small bags, table coverings or mats. The instructor will explain how to make pre-felts and provide details on the best types of wool to use for felting. Bring a lunch.
