Fantasy felt vessels, bags and tablet covers – During this intensive two day wet felting workshop participants will be encouraged to experiment with the open resist method of felting to create either a fantasy three dimensional vessel, beautiful functional bag or a tablet cover. Nicola has been using this technique more and more over the last year and a half, it leads to smoothly finished open edges and allows for the making of interesting shaped vessels much more easily than the usually used closed resist method. Adding flaps, pockets, frills, craters and spikes will also be covered during this workshop as will different ways of integrating handles and other protrusions to these sculptural pieces during the layout phase.
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.
