You don't have to be an artist to make something great! Wet Felting is limited only by your imagination. In three hours, you'll learn the techniques of the Nuno style of wet felting with wool blended with other fibers to create a felted scarf from start to finish. Once you've completed the class, you can use the technique to create longer or shorter scarves, shawls and other garments -- only limited by our imagination. Explore the magic of creating with felt. Nuno Felting is the bonding of fibers with fabric, creating a lightweight fabric.

Learn the art of wet felting with wool by making felted soaps!
