Join us for a cozy, hands-on wool felting workshop led by local fiber artist and teacher Elise! Learn the slow, ancient, and wonderfully tactile art of wet felting as you transform natural wool, with just soap, water, and a little patience, into your very own handmade sauna hat. Choose from a variety of colors and shapes to create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your personal style while learning about the beauty and sustainability of working with natural fibers. No prior experience is needed, and everyone will leave with a finished wool sauna hat to enjoy for years to come! Homemade soup will be served, making this a lovely opportunity to slow down, get creative, and connect in community. Bring a friend or make it a special holiday outing with family!
A word from Elise: "I am a fiber artist and teacher, using wool as my medium. I come from South Minneapolis but for the last 15 years I have lived a “not so simple life”, chopping wood and carrying water near Grand Marais, MN. I am always excited to share felting which is a slow, ancient and magical process of wool being transformed into an endless list of things, requiring just water, soap and the maker's patient agitation. It is a playful, organic process where a complete beginner is amazed by what they are able to create. I believe in supporting farmers raising sheep and creating useful, beautiful things that are a healthy alternative to the plastics and unsustainable items so prevalent. My motto: in wool we trust and 100% compostable!"
