Felting
In this immersive workshop, you will embark on a journey into the ancient art of feltmaking. Discover the rich history of this craft that has been utilized for centuries by nomadic cultures to create essential items such as carpets, clothing, and even portable homes called yurts. With the guidance of experienced artist Lesley, you will dive into the world of 3D vessel making using the wet felting technique.
Under Lesley's expert instruction, you will learn the essential skills needed to create stunning 3D vessels. From blending and laying out wool fibres to incorporating other fibres for surface decoration, every step will be carefully demonstrated and explained. You will also explore the use of a resist for 3D work and the techniques required to manipulate your creation, giving it shape and intricate detail.
Worried about materials? Rest assured, the workshop fee includes a pack of wool fibres, as well as other fibres for decoration. Additionally, you will have access to all the necessary feltmaking equipment during the workshop. If you prefer, you are welcome to bring your own fibres, as long as they are suitable quality wool unspun roving or tops in a medium micron weight.
Lesley recommends breeds such as Shetland, Finn, Swedish or Swiss, Gotland, Bergshaf, but Merino can also be used with extra layers for added sturdiness. Don't have the right fibres? Not to worry, Lesley will have a selection of extra fibres available for purchase on the day.
This class is an amazing opportunity to not only learn a traditional craft but also unleash your creativity in a supportive and friendly environment. Take home a beautiful and unique 3D vessel that showcases your newfound skills and artistic flair. Let the transformative power of feltmaking guide you on a creative journey like no other.
