Felting Master Class Membership

Welcome to the Felting Master Class with fiber artist and children’s book author-illustrator, Hillary Dow.

The felting master class focuses primarily on the art of painting with wool. You will learn advanced felting techniques and artistic design, through trained instruction and collaboration with fellow felters. Hillary Dow, a formally trained illustrator, and author of several books will guide you through the process of constructing and creating wool paintings that combine 2D and 3D techniques, creating truly remarkable works of art.

Member Portal

Members all receive one year* of access to the felter’s master class portal, filled with recordings of lessons, step by step instructions, felting tip sheets, and exclusive member’s only content.

*Memberships that opt for monthly payments will have access to the portal as long as their payments remain active and in good standing.

Progress Image Slideshows

Slideshows of progress images help teach you how to plan out and understand why and how you decide on the appropriate order to add elements into your wool painting.

Monthly Zoom Lesson & Gathering

Every month the felting master class meets virtually for a live two-hour Zoom lesson and gathering. We have an opportunity to show and tell recent projects, ask questions, share tips, and felt with one another.

Annual 8 Week Felting Series

Once a year members are invited to attend a series of live zoom lessons that run over an eight-week period. Our goal is to provide a forum with group and individualized instruction and create an environment that fosters meaningful and lasting connections. Someday, Hillary would like to offer an in-person felting retreat in Maine every year, but she’s not quite there…yet. For now, the zoom series works really well.

Here’s what our members are saying:

“It is so relaxing and enjoyable, I look forward to it every week.” Robin K. – joined 2021
