We start wet felting because weâre fascinated by the material and the possibilities of creating all sorts of things, from wearables to sculpture â¨đŤÂ

THE STORY BEHIND THIS PROJECT
I belong to a small felt club that gets together once a month via Zoom to felt in a group setting.
In our December meeting, the suggestion was that we create seasonal pieces. We usually felt 3D/sculptural items, and that was planned for December as well. But even thou...
Iâm working on a new class that is meant to help felt makers go all the way (smoothly) from total beginner to intermediate. If youâve recently started wet felting or youâve been felting for a while, but still feel like there are many gaps in your knowledge, this may be for you.
