Wet Felted Basket

With wool, water, and a bit of hands-on work, you can create a beautiful basket that becomes a true centerpiece in your home. In this class, you’ll learn how to lay out and felt a sturdy, three-dimensional basket complete with handles. Once the felting process is complete, you’ll have the opportunity to add embellishments to further personalize your piece.

This class offers a satisfying blend of structure and creativity, resulting in a functional and artful handmade basket you can enjoy for years to come.

Your instructor will provide the following:

All wool (both base wool and decorative wool), resist, magic mesh, and coverings for handles

Students are asked to bring:

• 2 towels: 1 kitchen and 1 bath towel

• Sharp scissors

• Large-eyed needle with a sharp point
