Wet Felting Workshop: Vase/Lamp Cover
Let the light shine on our January felting workshop - create your own vase of lamp cover.
Service Description
In this 3 ½ hour workshop and following step-by-step instructions from fibre artist Megan Arundel, you will learn the basics of wet felting and leave with your own cylindrical vase or lamp cover. Using a light or very pale coloured merino wool for the body to allow light to shine through your vase/lamp, you will also play with other colours of your choice for the top and bottom. Darker colors can also be used if you choose not to create a lamp cover. Felting wool into fabric follows a four-stage process: design and layout, felting to connect the wool fibres, fulling (shrinking) the fabric, and shaping. Materials for the felted project will be provided, including fine merino wool, a glass insert, and a selection of silk and other fibres for embellishment. The cost of the LED light base will be an additional $15 for those who want one. NOTE: Please bring your own large bath towel, a hand towel, and a pair of sharp scissors. This workshop is suitable for adults and older teens
