Felt Stories

VPA 213 | Thursdays, 6:30-9:15PM
A contemporary take on the ancient practices of felting, embroidery, and narrative. Using natural and dyed wool, you will make two and three-dimensional pieces ready to be enhanced with experimental embroidery. With soap, water, and fleece, felting expert Paulina Fuenzalida will guide you through the processes of wet felting, nuno felting, and needle-felting; taking inspiration of Marisa Karasz’s 1950s innovative stitching techniques, you will embellish the felt with stories you can’t wait to tell!
