Fuzzy Flowers with artist in residence Althea Pestine Stevens

Can’t get enough flowers this summer? In this playful, hands-on workshop, you’ll create a vibrant, sculptural flower using fine wool and the wet‑felting method with a resist. Your finished bloom can become a pin, an accessory, or a colorful embellishment for bags, hats, and more. Artist in residence, Althea Pestine‑Stevens will guide you through shaping, layering, and forming wool into expressive petals and forms. The process is fun, tactile, and accessible to all experience levels — whether you're brand‑new to felting or looking to expand your creative toolkit.
