Who Is This Course For? This course is for feltmakers who know the basics of wet felting and want to take the next step into wearable form. It is especially helpful if you usually make scarves, shawls, stoles or flat pieces and feel curious about 3D felt, but do not yet want to start with a fitted vest, jacket or complex garment. The mini cape is forgiving, elegant and practical. It teaches essential 3D felt principles in a project that is small enough to manage — and beautiful enough to wear.
