Felted Bird Yurt Workshop

Learn the ancient and awesome art of wet felting during this four hour workshop! Using wool, water, olive oil soap and your own two hands, you will learn how to sculpt wool into a durable, three dimensional form that will become your bird house. Felted wool is insulating, dirt resistant, repels water and is a breathable fabric, making it the perfect material to create a cozy home for your backyard birds.
