Exploring the Fiber Arts
Students in the grades 7 and 8 arts electives, “Fiber Explosion” are working with different materials to explore macrame, knitting, felting, and crotchet techniques. This week, students were finishing their exploration of wool fibers to create felt. They learned about both wet felting (using water, soap, and agitation) and then added patterns and shapes with needles, a technique called “needle felting.”
