SUMMARY:Wet Felting a Dragon's Eye Lantern
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 17th\, 2026 from 6 to to 7:30 pm  \nCost: $40.00 – includes materials for one item. \nfor adults\, maximum 10 people \nInstructor: Ruth Langwieser \nYou will create a Dragon’s Eye Lantern using the basic techniques of wet felting. You will begin by laying out layers of carded wool in the colours of your choice\, placing the fibres in alternating directions to build strength and create an even surface. Using a circular resist (template)\, you will form a hollow shape. \nNext\, you will carefully pour warm\, soapy water over the wool and begin the felting process. Starting with gentle rubbing and light pressure\, you will gradually increase the amount of friction and pressure as the wool fibres begin to bond together. As the felt becomes stronger\, you will continue shaping it until it reaches a smooth\, firm\, and well-felted surface. \nOnce the felting is complete\, you will remove the circular resist through the opening you have created. You will then insert a balloon into the opening\, inflate and tie it\, allowing the felt to stretch into its final three-dimensional form. The lantern will dry over the inflated balloon\, creating a sturdy hollow structure into a striking dragon’s eye lantern. \nLearning Goals: \n\nUnderstand the basic principles of wet felting.\nLayer wool fibres in alternating directions to create a felt structure.\nUse warm\, soapy water and friction to bond wool fibres together.\nControl pressure and rubbing techniques throughout the felting process.\nCreate a hollow felt form using a resist (template).\nShape a three-dimensional lantern using an inflated balloon.\n\nPOLICIES: \nRefund: If you are unable to attend class for any reason\, please notify the Arts Council via text at 306-634-3942. Our current office hours are Monday\, Wednesday\, and Friday from 9:30- 2:30 so response may not be immediate. \n48 hrs. notice prior to class is required for a refund – our artists must prep to bring you these wonderful classes!
