Feltmaking For Beginners

Presented by Valerie Wartelle

FELTED LANDSCAPES
Working in a small group, Valérie will take you through the creative steps and wet felting techniques she uses when creating her own artwork. Each participant works from their chosen starting point such as a photograph, sketch, magazine tear, etc to inspire their piece. Gradually you will develop your artwork applying wool fibres, silk threads, fabrics inserts as you would paint. At the end of the day, you can expect to take away with you a (mostly) finished felted piece, which can be further embellished if you wished to. Whilst this is an energetic practical workshop, you do not need any previous experience of felting (so beginners are most welcome), just a desire to delve into your creative inner self. All the necessary materials and felting tools are provided, along with photos for inspiration if needed. A list of basic equipment will be sent out upon booking your place.
