Felted Forms in Sculpture with Anita Johnson

Known since Neolithic times, hand felted wool can form intriguingly soft and complex sculptural shapes.

Over two days, Anita will teach you fundamental felting techniques, how to make seamless three-dimensional forms using resists, to layer resists, and to model solid felted shapes in your hand using agitation and soapy water. Explore the wonderful realm of felted sculpture.
