Felt. Gallons of warm water. A bar of soap. Ten ounces of sheep’s wool. Oh and 50 students from across Rochester, New York. The felting demonstration was a part of Imagine RIT.
Today was an awesome day because it involved introducing youngsters to the magic of felt.
Students created sheets of fabric from sheep’s wool, making a textile out of tufts of purple, green, red and aqua wool.
I love beads + wool. The first sparkles externally. The other has a beautiful luster that shines from within. By day, I teach courses on media studies and journalism at a university in the Northeast. By night I'm a beading and felting maven, accompanied by my tea, my Lhasa Apso, my husband, my smartphone and my television. All items are for sale and I welcome custom orders. Don't be a stranger.
