Join us in exploring one of the world's oldest textiles: Wool Felting!

Learn how to fuse tufts of wool roving into a sturdy, biodegradable fabric form. Feltmaking is a flexible and forgiving medium for all ages to enjoy! Together, we will create felt tapestries and vessels with multiple decorative techniques and abstract designs. While these lessons will focus on introductory strategies, these techniques can be used to create nearly anything you can imagine. Functionality and beyond!

These lessons are scaffolded, so be sure to participate in the first class if you'd like to take the rest of the course.

Class Size: Maximum 20 participants

Class Time: 1pm - 3pm.

What is Summer Connections?

Summer Connections is our spinoff mini program of our recent Creative Connections program. In 2023, White Rabbit Galleries was pleased to host a monthly series of art classes and instruction geared towards providing arts education to our community while also arranging a time for families, friends, and neighbors to spend time together in an engaging activity.  Each Creative Connections class covered a different medium of art and technique to maximize creativity and challenge. In order to continue offering classes of this nature, Summer Connections is a short program we will offer through the Summer months of 2024.  The classes will include intro classes or courses consisting of multiple classes learning the same subject. We will not provide refreshements for Summer Connections, but participants are welcome to provide their own drinks or snacks if needed.  Some classes will include take home supplies that will have no additional cost outside of the class fee. This program is made possible through funding provided by the Barberton Community Foundation.
