Wet & Needle: Felting a 2D Piece with Alieh Rezaei

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the session to sign a required liability waiver. A $10 materials fee will be due on the day of the workshop.

In this immersive 3-hour session, you’ll explore the art of transforming raw wool into beautifully structured felt forms. You’ll walk away with a handcrafted 2D felt piece and a deeper appreciation for fiber art. No prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and creativity!

Through guided instruction by Alieh Rezaei, you’ll learn the fundamentals of wet felting—a tactile process using wool, water, soap, and friction to create durable, seamless forms. You’ll then personalize it with your own design through needle felting.

Whether you're drawn to fiber arts for its meditative process or its decorative possibilities, this workshop offers a welcoming space for experimentation and creative exploration.
