About the event
Explore the colorful world of fiber layering and surface design through this playful felt painting activation at The Shiny Shop. Using vibrant wool fibers, felting techniques, and embellishments, participants will create soft painterly patches full of texture, movement, personality, and handmade charm.
Guests are invited to blend and layer wool roving like brushstrokes — building abstract compositions, dreamy color fields, symbols, tiny landscapes, playful imagery, or expressive designs that can later be used to mend garments, decorate bags, personalize jackets, or transform everyday essentials into wearable art objects.
This activation celebrates the tactile beauty of wool, slow making, and the magic of creating imagery through fiber rather than paint.
Materials include:
 • Colorful wool roving
 • Felting needles & tools
