Fleisher From a Distance: Felting Demonstration

Join in on this webinar to explore a variety of ways to turn wool into felt for sculpture and wearable items. Hanna will demonstrate needle felting for small-scale sculpture and wet felting for flat and three-dimensional hollow pieces. She’ll also show how to incorporate found objects like beads, fabric, and yarn. Have fun learning how loose fibers get turned into solid objects with this hands-on technique!
