Two Felted Covered Soaps with Ellen Lloyd
This class will include instruction on carding wool on an electric tabletop carder and a combination of wet and needle felting to produce unique and functional pieces of art: two felt-covered soap bars with a little design felted into the wool. As you use the bar and the soap gets smaller, so does the felt covering. It retains its shape over the bar as the soap shrinks down. Makes a great gift.
Materials: For two bars of soap, the cost will be $4.00 for the soap and the wool. This will be a special price for the class. The participant can "borrow" my needles and supplies. If they wish to make more at home, supplies will be available for purchase at a normal price.
Class fee: $25.00

Bio: Ellen Olga Lloyd traveled the world as a military child, coming to Sequim in 1997 with her husband, John. They run Olga’s Yurt of Fiber, a fiber processing cottage industry. Ellen began felting 15 years ago, and is now experimenting with combining wet and needle felting to create not only fun, whimsical critter art but also more functional art in rugs, slippers, and other goods. Her Sequim Open Aire Market booth is always full of her treasured creations. Having taught herself a variety of felting methods, Ellen enjoys teaching her methods to others. |
