The Art of Fiber – Sharon Davis

What is felting? Felting is the process of connecting or blending wool, wool roving, or fiber

together to make fabric. Wet felting uses water, soap, and friction to tangle the wool/fibers

together that produce stunning results. In this beginner wet felted wool class, you’ll create a

felted soap and a succulent vessel. The vessels you make in class will use Bergschaf (type of

sheep) wool. It is an easy fiber to work with, felts easily with temperature change and friction

and creates a firm, stable material. The hardest choice will be picking the wool color for your

felted soap and succulent vessel.
