Wet Felt Vessels with Marti Swanson Saturday, September 12th, 2026 | 10AM - 1:30PM $95 for Members | $120 for Non-Members All Supplies Included Class Description: Water & Wool: Crafting 3D Felted Vessels This workshop is a hands-on introduction to wet felting with a resist. You’ll learn the fundamental techniques of wool layout, layering, and embellishing to create a one-of-a-kind sculptural piece. Wet felting is a rhythmic, physical process. By applying water, soap, and agitation, you’ll transform loose wool fibers into a durable, integrated fabric. Using a "resist" (an internal template), you’ll learn how to build hollow, 3D shapes. It’s a bit of a workout, but the stunning, professional results are worth every drop of soapy water! Note: This is a "wet" class! Please wear comfortable clothes that can get a little damp. Skill Level: Beginner About the Instructor: Marti Swanson is an award-winning artisan known for her work in a variety of tactile mediums. She discovered felting and fiber arts, which allowed her to combine her passions for sculpting, color, and the tactile nature of creating with fiber. Swanson is continually inspired by the process of learning and experimenting. Her teaching philosophy centers on exploring and discovering through fun, and she finds her greatest reward in seeing her students succeed as they challenge themselves.
