Abstract Textured Seascapes

Enjoy a fun and creative day learning the art of wet felting. Experiment with wool, silk and plant fibres and create a unique piece of artwork that can be framed or turned into a mini wall hanging. No experience is required and the design is completely up to you! Let your creativity flow!

You will learn not only how to lay out the wool and felt it, but also how to use a variety of natural materials and surface design techniques to create texture and detail. Karen will discuss the use of resists and layers to create depth in your picture and what additional textile skills can be used to finish to your artwork. Then using just soap and water you will felt all the fibres together to create your final picture. Your finished picture will measure approximately 30x25cm.

This workshop is suitable for those who are completely new to wet felting or those who have felted before but wish to learn how to use resists and a mixture of natural materials to create surface texture in their wool art. All materials are provided, all you need to bring are 2 hand towels and a suitable bag for taking your damp picture home in.

This workshop is being held at Buckminster Village Hall, Buckminster Yard, Main Street, Buckminster, NG33 5SB from 10am to 3pm. There is plenty of free onsite parking.and all materials are provided.
