This technique, using a combination of fine merino wool roving from Zitron and a magical “easyfelt” paper is revolutionalizing the way we felt!
Artfelt is a combination of needle felting, wet felting and fulling. It requires far less time and talent than any of the three! Artfelt allows one to make felted pieces that are as thin as paper as well as thick enough for a handbag, all while allowing for precision detailing of design. Any felted piece the
imagination can conceive, artfelt can achieve.
In this workshop we will be creating clutches for you to finish at home.
