Felted Boots Village Class—February 14, 15 and 16, 2025
Friday, February 14, 5:00pm-8:00pm
Saturday, February 15, 9:00am-5:00pm
Sunday, February 16, 9:00am-5:00pm
Location: Chimacum Grange
Chimacum, WA
Instructor:
Peter Yencken
What could be cozier than custom-fit felted boots? Transform raw tufts of wool into dense, warm boots that will fit your feet perfectly and keep your toes oh-so-warm. If time allows, students may be able to work on a second, smaller project such as a felted bag or quiver.
This class is taught as part of a "village class,” meaning that Bow Making/Archery, Felted Boots, Backpack Basket Making, Leather Shoemaking, Knife Handle Carving, Arrow Making, and Leather Backpack Making are being taught simultaneously in the same space. This allows participants to be exposed to several arts while focusing on one specific skill.
Tuition:
$270 + $65 material fee
Ages:
6+ (minors must be accompanied by a registered adult)
