Felting: Painting with Wool for Beginners

Join Jane Bardgett for ‘painting with wool for beginners’, where the theme is based on flowers

Have you ever wondered how those amazing felted pictures are created? And wondered if you could ever do some thing like that? Well the answer is yes you can!

Come along and find out how the magic happens for an enjoyable, relaxing and some say quite therapeutic experience.

In this workshops you will be given step by step instructions & demonstrations on how to create a beautiful Floral Picture

Using soft merino wools like a paint palette you will add other exciting fibres to build interest and texture throughout your work, you will progress onto the manipulation of fibres to produce your final floral image which will then be “Wet Felted” to bind everything together and create a wonderful felted picture for you to take home.

Please note there is a £10 material fee paid directly to the tutor on the day

The course will cover :-

• Understanding the qualities of wool fibres
• How to consider colour, light, composition & movement in your picture
• Blending, layering and adding texture using wools, silks and Angelina fibres
• Working with loose fibres to create structure and form
• Learning the “wet felting” process using soap,water & agitation to bind fibres together

Please bring with you an old towel.
