Get Your Hands Woolly

Get Your Hands Woolly

Ever wondered how a fluffy pile of sheep’s wool transforms into a cozy piece of fabric? Spoiler alert: it involves soap, water, and a lot of fun! This April First Friday, we’re inviting you to be part of this magical process at the Lancaster Art Vault.

You’ll get to dive into the felting process—literally! We’ll have pre-cut pieces of wool ready for you to add your personal touch to our community design. Picture this: layers of soft wool laid out like shingles on a roof, then doused with warm, soapy water. A little massaging here, some squeezing there, and the fibers magically cling together, shrinking and transforming into a vibrant piece of felt art.

Ellen Silberlicht, our newest resident artist (and wool-whisperer), will guide the process and complete the final felting magic. The finished masterpiece will be unveiled during May’s First Friday, just in time for the ARTWALK weekend extravaganza!
