Wooly Feather Tree Class with Amy Scheg

A "wool feather tree" is a modern, artificial Christmas tree crafted from strips of felted wool that are fringed and attached to wires, which are then wrapped around a central dowel to form branches, mimicking the appearance of an early Victorian-era "feather tree" made from dyed animal feathers.
Unlike the original goose and turkey feather trees, the wool version offers a more textured, felted look and is a popular craft for the holidays.

Within this class participants will create an 18-20” high wool feather tree.
All materials and equipment will be supplied. Students will learn to rip and cut wool fringe, apply it to wire with a hot glue gun, and wrap with floral tape.
No special skills needed.
There will be a choice of green wools available. If you would like a color other than green, please register by September 6th.

Class Fee $55
