Felt Making with June Withers - All Day
This is an all day class, designed to give members a chance to try their hand at wet felt making under June's expert guidance. June will have some of the equipment below for you to use. The plan is to make 2 pieces of lightweight felt - A4 to A3 in size. Then in the morning class in February, there will be the time to add some stitching to your felt.
