Allerton Park & Retreat Center

Experience level: Beginner 

Are you a beginner, or interested in refining your wet felting skills? Join us for Wet Felt Bowls on Wednesday, Nov. 11 from 12-4 p.m. in the Dining Room.  

In this workshop you will transform wool into art as you use a resist to wet felt into a decorative bowl or vessel. The class will use luxurious silk, dyed wool roving, wool felt sheet, and dimensional inclusions to explore and transform ephemeral materials into a richly textured, sturdy, and functional work of art. Materials will be provided. You will receive a list of suppliers so that you can source materials and continue to welt felt at home. No previous experience is required.  

$130/person*. Registration closes Nov. 4 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final. 

*Students should bring the following: 
--two bath-sized towels 
--one 12” ruler two blue or black ink pens 
--one pair of scissors
