From Sheep to Felt

Learn about sheep physiology, characteristics, varieties, and lifeways. Understand the process of shearing, processing, dying, and uses of different kinds of wool to achieve different effects and to make different objects for fun and function. We will take a look at felting traditions, experiments and create a tailored kit of tools, materials and understanding that will allow you to continue your practice at home. The first half of this class will be instructional, and the last half will be time for you to work on your projects and ask the instructor for help as needed. There is a $35 materials fee due to the instructor on the first day of class.
