About

Want to learn how to turn wool fiber into three-dimensional objects? In this fun class, you'll learn how to use a flat resist to create a wet-felted, hollow vessel. You'll learn all the basic steps of wet-felting, including fiber layout, pre-felt, and fulling. You'll also learn how to embellish your design with other fibers and pre-felts.

The finished vessel can be used to hold trinkets, chocolates, or to simply brighten up any shelf. It also can be used as a vase if you place a glass jar within it to hold the water.   

After taking this class, you'll understand how to work with resists to further create other hollow forms such as handbags, slippers, and so much more. The possibilities really are endless!

  • A $20 materials fee, included in the price of the class, covers all materials and equipment. 
  • You should bring:
    • Plastic bag, bucket, or dishpan to put your wet/damp items in to transport home.

Instructor
Michelle Johnson

Michelle’s fiber art journey began in earnest at the Kansas City Art Institute. As she walked by the fiber studio daily to attend her foundation classes, she became intrigued by the brief glimpses of color, texture, and patterning. Serendipity? Yes, and after 30 years she is still deeply committed. Hand-created felt has been her focus since she took a I wonder what this is, one-day workshop in 2004. Michelle fell head-over-heels in wooly fluff. With soap, water, and patience, the hand rolling and rubbing process allows the wool fibers to co-mingle, becoming permanently entangled to create a strong, firm, textural piece. The felting process allows her to experiment, play, transform, and create beautifully textured wall pieces and sculptured textiles. Michelle can be found at: www.laughingcloudstudio.com
