This class involves utilizing the natural characteristics of wool fiber to create a fabulous scarf or wrap to keep or give as a gift.  We will begin by dyeing silk gauze to one or multiple colors then adding the wool fibers to it in either a random or patterned way.  The process involves agitating the silk and wool fiber in hot, soapy water until the fibers start to bond. Household rubber glover are needed for this.  The results are fairly immediate and really stunning. As an option, we may embellish the scarf with beads, ribbons and embroidery stitches. Students will also learn to make an accessory to add to the scarf or use in another project.

The materials fee includes silk fabrics and silk scarves, dyes, embellishments, fiber, ribbons, yarns and felting equipment.

Students should bring household rubber gloves.
