If that’s the case, know that the ...
I’m working on a new class that is meant to help felt makers go all the way (smoothly) from total beginner to intermediate. If you’ve recently started wet felting or you’ve been felting for a while, but still feel like there are many gaps in your knowledge, this may be for you.
But I’ll need some t...
I’ve often been asked for tips on how to wet felt when you have health issues like back pain or arthritis.
Personally, I’ve also dealt with pain that was either caused or worsened by the strain I’ve put on my body due to wrong postures during wet felting.
