Instructor: Memory Bradley
Friday: 9:30 am – 11:30 am
Seminar description: Join us for a lively and engaging seminar exploring the ancient art of wet felting – from its origins in early human civilization to its vibrant place in contemporary fiber arts. Participants will learn how early communities transformed raw wool from their herds into both functional and artistic textiles. This seminar will include a PowerPoint presentation, in-person fiber samples, and demonstration opportunities designed to encourage tactile exploration and group discussion. Participants will gain an understanding of how wet felting has evolved over time, with special focus on its modern applications in sculpture, wearable art, and design. In addition to learning foundational knowledge, each participant will receive wool and guided instruction to create a small personal keepsake.
This seminar will be recorded on Zoom and available for students to review for 14 days after the festival so students can practice the techniques at home while watching the recording.
