Felting A New Story (In-Person)

Create your own cloth with an open-weave fabric and super-fine merino wool fibers. Felting colorful wool fibers into the fabric creates a lightweight and beautifully textured “nuno felt”. It’s magical, hands-on fun! All materials will be provided, and no special skills are required.
