Workshop:
This workshop will illuminate the importance of wool, from sheep farmers to our homes. We will look at several projects working with wool in classrooms and with the community. We will learn the wet felting process, create our own design, and finish a piece that can be taken home with you!
Sheep were among the first animals to be domesticated by humans. Domestic sheep have been used for three basic human needs since around 10,000 BC: food, clothing, and shelter.
Natural fiber wool is considered the most effective form of all-weather protection and no synthetic fiber can compete with its performance. Wool is eco-friendly, biodegradable and renewable. Wool felt is one of the oldest known textiles. Felt is a textile made by matting, compacting, and pressing fibers together.
