SOLD OUT: Felted Flower Brooches

Participants will use dyed merino wool "prefelts" and other fibers and embellishments  to create 3 different fully felted flower or leaf pins/brooches that can be worn as an accessory on clothing, a hat, or a scarf. 

In the first session, participants will choose flower and/or leaf shapes, cut these out of dyed prefelts, add additional fibers and then wet felt these. Layers will be shaped and then left to dry. In the second session, the felted petals/shapes will be layered and assembled, using simple hand stitching. Other embellishments can be added, such as beads, millinery stamens, wool curly locks, or ribbons, and then a pin back will be affixed to the back of the pins.

Class minimum: 4

Class maximum: 8
