We will be creating a very unique book using wet felting to create our pages. Wool roving can be combined and mixed much like paint. We will then use needle felting and stitching to add details. Pages are then assembled into a soft book with a unique binding. Each page will be expressive of your own unique color palette and style. Everyone will have a book that is uniquely their own.
Please note: Wet felting can be quite physical. Students should be able to stand for periods of time (15-20 minutes at a stretch) and have hand strength to roll wrapped felt on a table
