37. Wet Felting- Make a Felted Hat
Instructor: Mary Curik Fee: $65 + tax
Mat. Fee: $10
Saturday June 29th 10:30-3:30p
Use Wet-felting techniques to create an alpaca/wool hat using a resist and a hat form, and you’ll have a finished hat at the end of class! Felted hats are made with alpaca or other wool fiber – we use about 4 ounces of prepared carded alpaca for one hat. Welt felting is done with hot soapy water and a vinyl resist is used to create a generic brimmed hat shape. The partially felted hat shape is then more firmly felted around a hat form to create the finished cloche, fedora, western or other style. You’ll leave with a finished felted hat. We’ll also do some embellishing and trim our creations – you can also add more embellishment to it later, or even dye it to a color you wish. Time for a sack lunch, or visit a local café.
Instructor supplies: alpaca or other wool felting fiber; vinyl resist templates for hat or bag; felting mesh; instruction sheets; miscellaneous supplies; felting tools needed for class.
Student supplies: wear clothes that can get wet; apron, rubber gloves if desired; two towels, and lunch (or go to nearby café.).
