Felting with wool is an intoxicating, fun process that I love to share with others. I teach a variety of classes at North House Folk School, in communities, schools and other folk schools. Contact me if you are interested in organizing a small group workshop from 2 hours to 2 days, children, adults or families. No experience or artistic skill is needed.
