This one-day workshop will introduce you to the basics of wet felting.
During the day we will look at different wools, the tools and methods you can use to make felted items in your home without needing lots of space or special equipment. On the day you will make a piece of felt of your own design that can be used as a table or dresser centre, table mat or set of coaster. Or turn your piece into something else – the choice is yours.
- will learn traditional ways to lay out your wool and how to add different fibres to embellish your work – the basic building blocks of wet felting. And we will share ways of working that minimises the stress on your back and arms. You will also learn how to know that your item is “felted,” felting terminology and types of wool suitable for different types of felting. All materials are provided and you only need to bring an apron (preferably water proof)
If wet felting is new to your, this is a great way to find out if this is a craft you will enjoy.
