Felted Monsters - Oct 22
Wooly monsters, just in time for Halloween!
Squishy bodies, toothy grins and lots of eyeballs!
Mallory Zondag, contemporary textile artist, will show us how to create your own squishy creature made entirely of wool using both wet felting and needle felting techniques. Using the ancient art of wet felting, a technique where wool is combined with hot water, olive oil soap and is then agitated, you will create a three dimensional wooly creature body. You will also learn how to needle felt to create further detail on your monsters like toothy grins and lots of eyeballs to bring your little creatures to life! There will be plenty of materials to use, including hand-dyed wool sourced from our local Charlton sheep farms.
Your monster can be cute or creepy, but don’t let these silly little guys fool you, Mallory has a wealth of knowledge to share on both wet and needle felting techniques. If you are new to felting, this is a great intro. If you have some experience and want to learn some new tricks, Mallory is a great resource. Wet felting has so many other applications, besides silly monsters! This technique could also be used to create hats, slippers, sculptural forms and really anything you can imagine…we love having Mallory in the Studio with us.
