Make a Felt Treasure Tapestry Workshop
Event description
Join us for an morning of creativity and contemporary felt making! In this class you will learn the basics of wet felting, using NZ merino wool and other natural fibres. We will create a small felt tapestry, which can contain 'treasures' such as shells, stones, beautiful fabrics or threads. Bring along any treasures that you might like to include in your artwork. You will leave with an original creation, plus the skills to continue felting at home. Suitable for all abilities.
Materials list: Please bring 1 towel, plus any treasure for your tapestry. All other materials will be provided.
Children 10+ are welcome to attend with an adult.
Venue: The Kowhai Collective, The Guthrey Centre, Cashel Street.
Just off Cashel Mall, near Sweet Soul Patisserie.
Tutor: Simone Bensdorp from Wild Felt.
