SUMMARY:Splash Into Wet Felting: A Two-Part Summer Fiber Art Series! with Stacey Whitlow at ARTworks Vass
DESCRIPTION:You asked for wet felting classes… and we listened! The hot summer months of July and August are the perfect time to gather at ARTworks Vass for a hands-on\, creative wet felting experience. Join us for this special two-part wet felting series designed to introduce you to the relaxing and magical process of transforming soft wool into beautiful sculptural creations. \nThis registration includes BOTH classes in the series\, as well as your own personalized wet felting kit to keep!

You will have several options for your final project including creating a felted bag\, flower pot cover\, or decorative vessel. \nWet felting is VERY different from needle felting\, so come prepared to get wet and soapy! We will be working outside for some\, if not all\, of the classes\, so dress comfortably for the weather. \nThese classes must be taken together to ensure proper development the foundational skills needed for the larger August project. \nEach guest should bring two to three thick\, clean towels to use during the felting process. \nClass size is very limited due to the complexity of the projects\, so early registration is strongly encouraged. \nAll-inclusive Price: $222 \nBeginners welcome! \nImportant Information: \n\nBeginners are welcome.\nPlease note: ARTworks Vass is home to friendly gallery/studio cats who may be present during classes and events. 🐾\nChildren age 14 and older may attend class independently.\nRegistration allows for one Guest per class project.\nOnly Registered Guests may attend class.\nRegistrations are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled.\nClass starts promptly as scheduled.\nDress to mess or bring an apron.\nAt ARTworks Vass\, you’re always welcome to bring your own Nibbles and Sips to class.\nClick here to read the ARTworks Vass Disclosure and Liability Waiver for All Classes and Events\n\nRegister online here or call us at 910-245-4129 to save your space in class. \nClick here to submit your request if you’re interested in hosting a private class for your group of 8 or more.
