MONROE - Registrations are now being accepted for the upcoming "3-D Wet Felting" art class to be held at Monroe Arts Center from 1 to 5 p.m. June 29.
Participants in the class, led by fiber artist Janis Merkle, will learn how to create a wet felt vessel. Participants will learn the basics of the wet felting process and then design, construct, and take home the vessel they have created.
These vessels are created and shaped in one piece from wool fibers on a three-dimensional form. The application of water, heat and agitation causes the wool fibers to meld into a solid felt that holds its shape. If desired, optional silk fiber embellishments then can be added to the surface.
Merkle is experienced in many fiber arts, including hand weaving. Merkle creates one-of-a-kind scarves and decorative felt vessels under the name Primrose Fiber Arts.
The class fee for MAC members is $45 plus a $15 supply fee; the fee for non-members is $50 plus a $15 supply fee. Provided supplies include wool roving and embellishment materials.
Registration deadline is June 22. To register or for information, call 608-325-5700 or visit the Monroe Arts Center, 1315 11th St., Monroe. Class size is limited.
