Let’s Stick Together! Fun with Felting

In this camp, we will learn the basics of the two main kinds of felting: needle felting and wet felting. By using wool fibers and friction, campers will be able to create textiles and functional or art objects. Needle felting can be used to create 2-dimensional “paintings” or 3-dimensional objects such as animals. Wet felting can be used to create useful accessories such as scarves, baskets, and pouches. What you create will be up to you! Ruth is an art teacher at RVNS.
