Felting a Lampshade: Using Alpaca Fiber
Adult Class | Registration opens 8/4/2026 9:00 AM MDT
This class is a combination of my "Painting with Fiber" and "Felting a Bag or Hat" classes. I will teach participants how to felt using both wet felting and needle felting techniques. Participants will go home with a completed 3D felted art piece.
At the completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
1) Describe natural fibers, especially the properties of Alpaca fiber.
2) Create a "3D Canvas" (pre-felt) using the wet felting method.
3) Create design and details using needle felting and wet felting techniques.

Alicia Marshall is in the business of raising happy alpacas and making the best hand felted products possible from their fiber. Her ranch, Moondance Alpacas is located on 35 acres in the foothills of beautiful Littleton, Colorado. They made the strategic decision early on that instead of breeding alpacas, they would raise alpacas for their incredible fiber, then design and produce exquisite felted products from it. Moondance Alpacas is a company that strongly believes in using natural resources to create artistic, functional goods with exceptional craftsmanship. The art of felting is something Alicia is extremely passionate about and enjoys teaching others the craft as well.
