Felting is the most ancient method of creating textiles. With water, soap, and agitation, you can transform loose wool fibers into a durable, sturdy fabric – and discover endless possibilities for creative expression with color, form, and texture. In this class, we’ll learn the basics of wet felting by making a small bag or pouch suitable for carrying a phone, glasses, or your favorite knick-knacks.
Taught by Lisa Heineman, Sunday, August 10, 1-5 pm.
Note: Wet felting can be a strenuous activity, involving a lot of standing, rolling, and kneading. If you have any questions about the physical component, please don’t hesitate to contact me in advance (lisa.heineman@proton.me).
Instructor Lisa Heineman has taught history at the University of Iowa since the tail end of the last millennium. She fell in love with fiber arts just in time to develop enough skill to survive Covid, and has been digging in ever since. In addition to teaching at the University, she facilitates workshops on spirituality and creative practice. You can reach her at lisa.heineman@proton.me
