About the Instructor: My name is Mariya Gerhardt. I am a fiber artist – felt maker and knitter. When I discovered wet felting, I was hooked by its magic when a fabric, a living image, is born from a bunch of scattered fibers of wool, silk and other fibers. I have been doing wet felting over 6 years and still a lot of experimenting and discovery for me. I like to work with natural fiber, raw fleeces, use recycled material like – silk, cotton and viscose fabric and fiber. I have been obsessed with exploring the possibilities of felting and would love to share the joy of creating with others.
