Hello creators, my name is Abbie and I am a wool felting artist. I take wool roving, batting, yarns, and many other natural fibers and create one-of-a-kind creations.

Wool textiles are the oldest known form of fabric. In the first century AD, in Mongolia, felt yurts, rugs, and similar felt objects were discovered. Felting artists today create rugs, scarves, pillows, purses, jackets, and so many other applications.

I enjoy making them all. I have been felting for ten years. I wet felt, needle felt and nuno felt. I enjoy wool as a medium for all of it diversity. I can create both visual and functional pieces.

We will be creating a beautiful piece of wet felted fabric that you can take home and create so many stunning small projects.

I will bring several examples for us to explore together. We will look at the other types of felting as well so you can see how versatile this medium truly is for art! Hope to see you there to ignite your creative spark!

About our Guest Artist Instructor:

Abbie O. is a local Fibers artist who has been felting for ten years. She is an established artist in the Spokane area specializing in wet felt, needle felt, and nuno felt. Abbie enjoys the medium of wool and fibers for all of its diversity and can create both visual and functional pieces.
