A fun and creative day ‘painting with wool’.

During this one-day workshop you’ll explore the ancient art of Wet Felting and leave with a beautiful piece of felted art to be proud of!

This course is an excellent introduction to the art of wet felting. Using a wide range of different wool, silk and plant fibres you will learn how to create a picture full of texture and detail.

Tutor Karen will discuss the use of colour and layers to create depth and perspective in your picture and how additional textile skills such as hand and free machine embroidery can be used to embellish your artwork.

Then using just soap and water you will felt all the fibres together to create your final picture. No sharp needles involved - just natural fibres, soap and water.

Choose on the day whether to create an abstract seascape or a realistic one. Karen will have plenty of pictures to use for inspiration but you are welcome to bring your own too.
