Supplies / Kit:

BRING A BATH SIZED TOWEL, please. Everything else is supplied. You must bring some beads to string with your felt beads if you choose.

MANDATORY KIT FEE: $30.00

The kit includes 3-4 oz merino wool in many colors (6 to 8 usually), magnetic closure, stringing materials, dozen or more spacer beads, skewers, rubber fingers, use of Turbo Felting Board, sharp thin-bladed knives, cutting boards, kettles, and basins. Each student will have the use of a Turbo Felting Board for classroom use or optional purchase of $30.00

The Project:

Spend the day building layers of fine merino wool into canes of various types using an array of colors. Learn to plan the arrangement of the bundled canes to achieve particular effects. Using hot water, a little soap, and the Turbo Felting Board, felt the bundles into a dense and firm felt complex cane. Then, slicing the cane reveals intricately patterned beads. Most participants will leave with a finished, though damp, necklace.
