Play with Wool! A Fun Introduction to Wet Felting with Oksana Danziger
Adult Classes | Available
Learn how to work with wool using the wet felting technique and discover how soothing and meditative this process can be. With warm water, gentle movement, and a bit of patience, soft wool fibers slowly transform into a beautiful, textured surface.
By adding small pieces of fabric, you can create rich layers, subtle patterns, and unique details that make each artwork truly one of a kind. The rhythm of working the wool with your hands is calming and grounding—perfect for slowing down, relaxing, and letting your creativity flow.
