This Valentine’s Day workshop will focus on two basic approaches to wet felting. After a brief introduction to wool, Helga Schulte-Schroeer will teach us to make two projects that will provide the foundation for future projects. Participants will be introduced to the versatility of wool and the diverse applications it has found in the revival of the ancient tradition of felting.

Helga Schulte-Schroeer grew up on a bio-dynamic farm in Germany, where she learned to manipulate wool from her grandmother at the early age of three. She took an immediate liking to the endless possibilities of the material and has worked with it ever since. Throughout her life she always had fibre projects on the go, and has taught herself through experimenting and sharing with other fibre enthusiasts. Schulte-Schroeer is showcasing and selling her art at major craft markets in Canada. www.fibreartistry.com
