Felt Pumpkins

Workshop Details

Inspired by autumn, harvest, and Halloween, join us to celebrate pumpkins this season. Learn a new artful, handmade technique by wet-felting a pumpkin. Each cantaloupe sized three-dimensional vessel will be made with wool by using a resist, soap, and warm water. This technique will help you form the stem as well as the hollow form of the pumpkin. This wet-felting process is commonly used to make vessels, slippers, and hats. We will cover how using a resist works for the desired outcome. Instruction will include measuring, shaping, and finishing, all while making your own personalized, functional art. Come in comfy clothing and be prepared to roll your sleeves up and be ready to work with water and soap. All ages welcome, children under 9 must be accompanied by an adult. Beginner or intermediate felters welcome. This class is taught by Amy Bradshaw.
