Felted Vessels 
|
Learn the fascinating art of seamless, three-dimensional wet felting. No knitting or sewing required,
use wool roving and other natural fibers to felt a small vessel to hold flowers, keys, chocolates, or
to simply brighten up any shelf. Choose bright or natural colors, then “sculpt” your vessel into any
shape from organic to contemporary. We’ll be working with water, so dress for mess.

Approximately 6" x 6" x 6", each piece is unique! |
