Creative Play: A Felting Mini-Workshop

 

Have fun making your own felt goods in this workshop with artist Gika Rector.

 
 

Tuesday, September 7
6 - 9:00 pm
$45 ($40 Jung Center members)

 
 

Learn a fun and contemporary approach to an ancient fiber medium. Wrap a ball with luscious and colorful merino wool and cover it with pantyhose. Add soap and water—and bounce: The wool becomes a felted sphere. The sphere can then become a bag or purse or vessel, perhaps even a hat. With vibrant and interesting textures to play with, felting is a rich creative experience for the senses. Bring an old towel, a plastic bag, and your curiosity. All other materials are included in the registration fee. No experience necessary.

 
 

Gika Rector, a former artist in residence at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, has been exploring felt-making as an art form for more than 10 years. She gives classes and workshops in felt-making at various schools and centers in the Houston area and beyond.
