Learn how to create a unique felt vessel that combines a full range of innovative felting techniques. Start with a simple "felt on a ball" technique to create the beginning shape, covering it with layers of different colored wool that can later be carved to reveal the underlying colors and create patterns and texture on the vessel's surface. When the vessel is partially felted, learn how to add additional surface design with wool and yarns. Shape your vessel through a variety of fulling methods. A wide range of complex, organic, shapes can be created through controlled stretching and shrinking. Add additional sculptural forms and surface design to your vessel, including felted figurative elements, leaves, flowers and other abstract forms. Combine these techniques with cutting, carving, needle- felting and stitching to make the surface of your vessel a work of art!
