Looking for a new hobby or a fun way to spend time with friends? Behringer-Crawford Museum is inviting adults to get creative at a Wet Felting Workshop on Saturday, April 19, at 2 p.m.
Led by BCM Education Director Kim Gehring-Cook, this hands-on experience introduces participants to the art of wet felting, a technique that transforms soft wool fibers into a durable, textured fabric using water and simple tools. With step-by-step guidance, guests will create their own approximately 9-by-9-inch wool-felted landscape to take home.
No experience is necessary. All materials and tools are provided.
Designed for ages 18 and up, the workshop is limited to 12 participants to ensure a personalized experience. The cost is $45 for museum members and $65 for nonmembers. To register, call 859-491-4003 or visit www.eventbrite.com. Museum members must call to receive the discounted rate.
The workshop is part of a larger lineup of programs connected to Treasures From the Attic: 250 Years of Fashion & Furniture, which explores how clothing, furniture and decorative arts reflect everyday life and social change over time. Guests can enjoy dress demonstrations, hands-on workshops and special events like a Teas & Tiaras fashion show. A full schedule of programs can be found at www.bcmuseum.org/treasures-programs.
