Felting Workshop

About this event

Discover the ancient and versatile art of feltmaking in this hands-on introductory workshop. Participants will learn the basics of wet felting—using warm, soapy water and agitation to transform wool fibers into fabric—and gain a deeper understanding of how to build and finish a felted piece. You will explore layering, embellishing, and fulling techniques to create a small decorative felted artwork. Perfect for beginners, this workshop offers a fun and tactile way to connect with a timeless craft using simple tools and materials. The Windgate Art School is generously supported by the Windgate Foundation with additional support from Sherry Worthen in memory of George Worthen. The Windgate Art School’s Reduced Tuition Program is supported by Michael Laughter. Reduced tuition is automatically applied to all classes through 2026. Artwork by Laurie Ament.
