October 16th, 2021-Wet Felting, Wrist Cuff, deadline to register is October 6th $15.00

Edie Cannizzo enjoys the process of exploring new mediums and took to felting immediately. From “painting” with felt to exploring jewelry design with felt, she has let the medium take her down a path of creative discovery. Felting is one of the oldest crafts of humanity, likely originally developed to give comfort in the harsh world through the production of wool felted textiles.  Join Edie for a fun exploration of wet felting to open your creative minds to the possibilities of this ancient medium.
