Felting Cozy Wear

Felting Cozy Wear with Christina Sweeney

Saturday–Sunday, October 5–6, 2024 from 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

Ensconce yourself in an introduction to the process of felting. We will explore the narratives of felting history, labor, and functionality while working in a more contemporary, concept-driven manner. Students will learn both needle and wet-felting techniques and execute at least one finished work from each section. We will run through the basics, from acquiring the wool and proper tools to formulating a title and response to our finished pieces. We will work both collaboratively and independently while possibly drawing inspiration from the Ox-Bow campus. Wool and basic tools for in-class use will be provided. This workshop includes lunch at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday and brunch at 12:00 p.m. on Sunday
