**Dairy Barn Members at the Individual Level or higher enjoy a 10% Discount**

With simple tools and colorful wool roving, students will learn the process of wet felting. Felt is one of the oldest known textiles, and humankind has long used this technique to transform the fur and hair of animals into beautiful and useful items.

In that tradition, participants in this workshop will create a three-dimensional felted basket, embellished with their unique designs and ready to be put to use as a functional work of art.

Students are asked to bring a few old terrycloth towels, but all other supplies and materials are included. See the Wet Felting Materials List for more information and a list of optional decorative fibers students may wish to incorporate.

REGISTRATION for this class CLOSES @ 5:00 pm on Friday, June 7

For Ages 14+ (those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult) 

Experience the magic of pour painting, a unique technique where vibrant colors flow freely onto the canvas. Participants are encouraged to choose three colors of their liking and let their creativity soar. They can enhance their masterpieces with glitter, silicone, oil, or foil for an extra touch of sparkle and depth. The possibilities are endless, and the process is fun and free-spirited.

In this workshop, students will create their unique painting on an 8” x 10” canvas. Due to the nature of the materials, completed paintings will be left to dry and available for pick-up after two days, during The Dairy Barn’s regular hours Tuesday-Friday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, and Saturday-Sunday 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM.

Teaching Artist, Savannah Fish, has experience teaching individuals with diverse abilities, and creating an inclusive learning environment. She invites you to discover the joy of creating beautiful art together!
