Class: Create an Illuminated Felted Fiber Sculpture

Instructor: Lucy Huckery

Medium: felted wool

Date(s): Thursday, March 12, 2026

Time: 10am - 2pm

Cost: $80

 

Class Description:

Learn wet felting by turning wool fluff and other embellishment materials into colorful fabric flowers. Make a beautiful transparent fiber sculpture that will be illuminated from within by a portable light puck (provided as part of the class fee). Your finished piece doubles as an art sculpture and light in your home.

No experience necessary! You will be using sheep wool and other embellishing fibers to design your felted fiber lamp. The process we will use in creating this light is called wet felting. Wet felting by hand uses your hands and arms to rub, roll and form the wool fibers into a ball shaped sculpture. This process doesn’t require a lot of arm strength but you need to be aware that your hands / arms may get tired. I encourage breaks so that no one gets too tired to finish their project.
You will leave this class with the knowledge necessary to continue your wet felting journey at home and into the future.

 

Instructor Biography:

Lucy Huckery is the fiber artist behind Tall Cactus Studio www.tallcactusstudio.com. She makes eco-printed and felted fiber art creations that are both beautiful and functional. Three years ago, she discovered eco printing (botanical contact printing) and began experimenting on paper using leaves, bark, flowers, and seeds she found in nature. When she tried bundling these same botanicals on fabric, a world of possibilities opened up, and she decided to tailor her craft to focus on fiber art. Today, Lucy transforms eco printed fabric and handmade felt into functional items such as trivets, coasters, placemats, purses, table runners, glasses cases, pin cushions and scarves.
