Easy Wet Felted Bowl/Vessel (In-person)

In-Person: Kids | This program is completed

This easy-peasy wet felted bowl is a delightful way to take a dip into the world of wet felting! Kids five and up will enjoy creating their very own wet felted vessel which can be turned into a bowl for their trinkets or a vase for a colorful array of flowers. Using only hot water and soap, students will roll and smoosh their way through a variety of fibers, colors and textures. This quick workshop will teach children about felting, fiber, and color. They should come dressed accordingly, as they will get wet! They will also need a plastic bag to take their work home and it should be set out to dry overnight on a cookie sheet.

Chelsea Brown

Chelsea Brown (she/her) is a fiber artist and teacher based out of Massachusetts. She started felting in 2016 and hasn't put down the felting needle since! Fiber started as her hobby, became her passion, and is now present in every aspect of her life. Entirely self-taught, Chelsea has exhibited her wool sculptures in art galleries and runs her own small business, Kekii Crafts, where she sells her unique needle felted pieces and wet felted wearable art. Her artwork often draws inspiration from anime and games, pop culture, animals, and all things cute and squishy. She also takes commissions and enjoys bringing these unique visions to life!

Chelsea's greatest love is teaching, which gives her the opportunity to share her wool obsession with the world. In addition to a variety of felting workshops, she has taught over 400 painting classes and now works part-time teaching sewing and fiber arts to children. 

Chelsea's larger sculptures often reference the natural world and all of the amazing creatures in it. It can take two to three months to create ONE needle felted sculpture! Through this labor of love, she hopes to continue to help conservation efforts around the world. Portions of the proceeds from her works are regularly donated to organizations that help endangered animals. She also never forgets to thank the most wonderful animal of them all: The sheep!

You can find her work on Instagram: @kekii_crafts, Facebook: facebook.com/kekiicrafts, Etsy: etsy.com/shop/kekiicrafts. You can email her with any specific questions at Kekiicrafts@gmail.com.
