Teens will learn the ancient craft of feltmaking by making a fun, campy project. Feltmaking is a traditional craft that pre-dates weaving. Using only raw wool, soapy water and the agitation of our hands, each teen will make a faux nori roll that will be cut up into many pieces of colorful sushi. The low-tech process of transforming raw wool into felt is magical for anyone new to the craft, and the subject matter of this class is particularly popular with the anime set.
