Felting with Allison
Event description
The Geeveston Art Show is delighted to present the Artist Development Programme - proudly sponsored by the Huon Valley Community Bank.
Thanks to Bendigo's generous sponsorship, all the workshops in our programme are FREE OF CHARGE to participants throughout the Art Show!
This workshop FELTING WITH ALLISON is targeted at beginners who need no experience. It is suitable for children 12 and above but youngsters will need to be supervised. Using acrylics and natural fibres, participants will learn about:
- Selecting the right medium
- Dry versus wet felting
- Base Materials
- Choosing the right tools
- Preserving your work
Participants will go home with a (small) patch of felted sampler and the skills to continue exploring their new hobby!
Your workshop leader is Allison, a palawa woman who has and extensive range of crafting skills she uses in her work and leisure time. Allison is a specialist in utilising her surroundings to create, upcycle and innovate whilst keeping her creations in sync with nature.
All materials will be provided!
