B374 Fabulous Felted Baskets
with Cynthia Taveira-Carbone
**Dairy Barn Members at the Individual Level or higher enjoy a 10% Discount**
For Ages 16+
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.
