Unleash your creativity and dive into the world of wet felting at our upcoming workshop. Hosted by Vicky, of Needlessly Felted, this workshop promises participants an immersive experience in crafting unique bags and puches through the mesmerising technique of wet felting.
Wet felting is an ancient craft that involves using water, soap, and agitation to transform raw wool fibres into a dense and malleable material. In this hands-on workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn the intricacies of wet felting and create their own beautiful 3D designs under the expert guidance of local artist Vicky Pulman.
Participants will be provided with all the necessary materials, including -
High-quality wool roving in a dazzling array of colours, textures and types
Hand spun and dyed artisan yarns
Raw and dyed silk fibres
Sari silk fibres and scraps
Bamboo mats
Fine mesh
Rolling and fulling tools
Resist materials
Natural olive oil soap.
Water sprays
We advise attendees to wear a pinny! Rubber gloves may be used if preferred. You may wish to bring a small hand towel and something with which to carry your wet work home.
The workshop will cover essential 3D wet felting techniques, colour blending, textures, inclusions and design principles, as well as a look at the properties of each fibre type, allowing attendees to express their artistic visions in a tactile and dynamic way.
Spaces for this workshop are limited to 10 due to space constraints, so early registration is encouraged. Attendees are encouraged to bring their inspiration or reference photos to personalise their designs. Light refreshments will be provided, as well as a lunch break offering participants the chance to mingle and share their artistic experiences. Food may be ordered from the cafe adjacent to the workshop venue. Small kits and some fibres will be available to purchase at the end of the session.
