Wet Felting for Beginners Workshop | BEECHWOOD
Event description
Come along and enjoy the fun of creating a piece of art in your own vision— Hands on Creativity Expands The Mind!
In this workshop we will use colourful dyed fleece (Australian Merino sheep wool rovings) to produce a stable piece of fabric that is an amazing work of art! Using our imagination, we will create a wonderful work of art that can be a beautiful wall hanging, framed as a piece of art or used like a piece of fabric to create anything you like.
Wet felting is the technique of using moisture, soap, gentle agitation and time, to make felt using wool fibres. The basic techniques of felt-making are not difficult to learn, however the activity does involve a bit of physical exertion, as we will be rolling the wool backwards and forwards repeatedly, so please keep that in mind when booking.
All materials required for the class will be provided. But, please bring 2 old towels as we will be needing to dry our hands often and may need to sponge water off our works at times. Also bring a bag to take home your felt as it will still be damp.
The workshop is open to ALL. No previous knowledge or experience is needed in this class.
Small classes ensure personal attention plus we have fun in a creative and nurturing environment. No mistakes, just opportunities to learn and be creative 😊❤️
Participation is free. Registrations essential.
