Spring 2012 Classes

All Classes taught at Otlak Felt Studio and Clothing

Fleece to Felt

I offer this class for those wishing to learn the whole process- from sheep to felt. You will learn to wash, card and wet felt the wool using two different techniques. First, you will make a small, flat piece of felt and then learn the art of seamless felting as you make a hat or a pair of slippers.

No experience necessary.

Four Session Class offered Mondays: 6-8:30
Upcoming Class Dates:

TBA

$85 (plus $10 for the raw fleece)
To register call 218.491.7099

Felting Foundations: 2-D

This is your basic introduction to the world of wet felting: hats, saddle pads, coats, rugs, yurts, even armor- in this class you will learn the basic skills to create a durable and beautiful piece of fabric, while also learning the skills needed for 3-D felting projects. Choose your own project (placemats, coasters, yardage for sewing projects, no armor just yet!)

No experience necessary.

Custom Boot-liners/Slippers

Are you always complaining of cold feet in the winter? Has the liner in your boots worn out? Do you want a new pair of slippers? Come make yourself a pair of custon boot liners or slippers and let your feet relax into the warmth and comfort of felted footwear.

Some prior wet-felting experience helpful, but not necessary.

Rug Making Potluck

One of things I love most about felt is we work together to make the larger pieces that make a house a home- both yurt coverings and rugs bring people together and I offer this free session for those who would like to learn more about traditional felt making through a very hands on experience. Bring some food for a potluck lunch and be prepared to work hard and have fun!
