I teach classes on felting at a store called Bead and Fiber in Boston's South End. In my most recent class, I introduced my students to 3-D felting. I made several pairs of slippers as an examples for my students to show the possibilities of what they could make with felt. People are always astounded that you can make seamless3-D objects from wool. To demonstrate I made one par of slippers that was entirely whimsical, and while I enjoy them, my kids told me that they're a little unpractical. Take a look and judge for yourself:
The class went well, and fortunately all the students came out with felted slippers! Â These are the final products of my students:
