This one day workshop will concentrate on different ways of adding fabric, fiber and found objects to both flat and three dimensional felt helping make your finished pieces really stand out from the crowd! We’ll cover interesting ways of embellishing felt during the initial layout phase, half way through the felting process and once the felting has actually been completed. Participants are free to felt a selection of samples during this class and encouraged to concentrate on expanding their technical skills and opening their minds to new possibilities for future projects. Nicola will also discuss the importance of working your felt until it is totally fit for purpose and give tips and advice on how she lays out differently prepared fiber (wool, alpaca, mohair, natural raw locks etc., batts, roving and tops) to achieve different effects and textures in her felt.
OR (if you’re joining us for all 3 days with Nicola) During this intensive 3 day felting extravaganza Nicola will encourage participants to explore a variety of wet felting techniques to create stylish and well finished accessories or art pieces. Participants may choose to concentrate on one large project or several smaller pieces over the course of the 3 days.
