Lumberyard Arts Center gallery artist, Theresa Shetler, will be offering a demonstration on Welt Felting. Everyone is invited.

Welt felting most likely began in Central Asia in the first century CE. It was used in clothing and in the creation of yurts or tent-like structures that were warm and waterproof because of the qualities of wool. These items were often decorated and embellished. The structure of lambs wool allows for the fibers to create beautiful pieces for the home, art, or wearable. I will demonstrate how to create a wall piece using the wet felting technique along with how to embellish details with the technique of needle felting. Come and enjoy a fun and informative demonstration. There will be some opportunity to participate, touch and feel the processes that I use to create some of my artworks.
