Create your own custom hand felted slippers for a cozier winter! In this two day workshop, you'll use the ancient process of wet felting that combines wool roving, soap and water to create felt from scratch in the form of your dream slippers. Wet felted wool is structural, durable and insulating, making it the perfect material for slippers.
Class one will focus on learning the wet felting technique, making a pattern for your slippers and beginning the process of laying out the wool and felting the fibers together.
Class two will focus on the shaping of the felted wool and forming the felt to a tool called a last in the shape of your foot. The second class will also provide time to create decorative elements for your slippers that can be added to them through sewing and needle felting.
