You will design and create two unique bookmarks using colorful pieces cut from pre-felted wool. Pointed scissors will be used to cut the pre-felt sheets.
As part of this ancient felting technique, we will be using some warm water and soap. The process also involves some gentle upper-body movement as we work to bind the wool fibers together.

Inspired by the Japanese art, Kimekomi (tucking fabric into the wood grain) we will be covering two Styrofoam balls with beautiful pieces of fabric. During the workshop, we will use sharp X-Acto knives to create grooves in the Styrofoam base, as well as pointed scissors to cut the fabric. These tools require care and attention, and I’ll guide you through their safe use.
