Wet felting is the process of taking unspun wool roving, and rubbing it against itself with water and soap to turn it into a piece of fabric.
We will have two stations in class tomorrow. The first is wet felting on a bar of soap, and the second is wet felting a piece of fabric using a plastic bag.
The first link is to a YouTube video. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you don't let your people watch YouTube unsupervised. This video is totally safe and suitable.
There are a gazillion results that come up when you consult the Googles about wet felting.
Here is a Flickr group called Bubble Hands - Wet Felting. Artists post photos of their work.
This is a gallery from Felting Lessons (dotcom).
And this link will take you straight to the Google Image page.
Next class we will be needle felting. That was my plan for this week's class, but I had to order foam from multiple sources and it all didn't arrive in time. Ah, the joys of the internet.
See you all tomorrow!
