Wet Felted Vessels: It is both magical and easy to use unspun wool and soapy water to fashion a 3-dimensional purse, pouch, or other vessel around a flat form that “resists” felting and shrinking! We’ll play with a mountainous rainbow of fluff and sparkle to make unique, small bowls—and discuss how these same techniques can be used to develop into hats, handbags, and vases! Felting requires sustained but gentle physical effort for the entire class period.
Marcia Weinert
Marcia Weinert (who is “Undeniably Loopy!”) has been addicted to turning fluff into stuff ever since sneaking her 9-year-old daughter’s spindle and fiber after their first class together, over two decades ago! She teaches spinning, knitting, felting, and crochet in many outlets across the northeast, particularly the Weaving & Fiber Arts Center in Rochester, NY. We are delighted to have Marcia return as an instructor for the WNY Fiber Arts Festival.
