Explore wet felting to create a geode soft sculpture! Students will layer wool fibers over a form for the felting process that will result in a densely felted ball. These felted forms will be cut open to reveal the banded “agate” layers within, mimicking a stone geode.
No previous experience is required, all skill levels are welcome.

This multi-department course involves the design, shaping, and finishing of a functional and artistic utensil. The process begins with selecting the appropriate material—such as metal sheet and metal rod. The material is then cut or forged into a rough spoon shape. We will learn techniques to forge the handle, cut the form, file and cup the spoon shape in the Sculpture department. The second half of the semester will take place in the jewelry department where students will define the details of the spoon through processes such as reviting, polishing and soldering.
