All You Can Eat Felting Buffet: Surface Design
January 25, 2026, 10:00am - 3:00 or 4:00pm
In my home studio in South Eugene.
Indulge in a playful, technique-rich felting class designed to take your surface design skills to the next level. This “felt buffet” invites you to sample a variety of surface design techniques while creating beautiful felted studies that can stand alone or be incorporated into future felted work. This class is best suited for folks who have taken 1 or 2 felting classes and are ready to feast on surface design possibilities.
We’ll use fine merino wool alongside silks, cotton scrim, viscose, and other embellishments, exploring both all-wool and nuno felted approaches. These detailed techniques are slow and intentional, relying on gentle hand-felting rather than heavy rolling or pressure—perfect for achieving delicate textures and nuanced surfaces.
You’ll experiment with abstracts using a monotype-inspired process, create and layer prefelts, and discover how thoughtful placement and transparency can add depth and movement to your work.
Cost: $85 (includes all tools and materials)
Time: 10:00am - 3:00pm or 4:00 depending on class size
Location: My cozy studio—complete with hot tea, coffee, and, of course, snacks.
What to Expect: This is a physically active class that involves some standing and vigorous rubbing and rolling using your hands and arms.
What to Wear: It’s handy to wear an apron to catch the water drips and ¾ sleeves, or sleeves you can roll up. Wear comfy shoes.
What to Bring: Snacks or lunch. There is a fridge and microwave available.
