    In this workshop we’ll use the wet felting technique to create a decorative, felted wool cover for a jam jar that can be used as a flower vase or as a tea light holder. As well, we’ll explore how to incorporate fibres which glow when the vase is illuminated with a candle and also add decorations to enhance a bouquet of flowers if you use your vessel as a vase. We’ll all go home with a finished creation for our homes or to use as a gift.
