Session One
There will be an introduction to the wet felting techniques with demonstrations. Everyone will make a small sample to learn how to lay out fibres and wet felt them. It can also be used as an opportunity to test out elements for your main piece.
Session Two
We will develop ideas and lay out designs in wool fibres in this session. Your tutor, Carol will look through your ideas, photos etc and be able to advise which designs will work well in felt and which techniques can be used. After a demonstration, you will lay out your wool fibres and yarns on pre-felt, which will be used to provide a stable foundation for your work.
Session Three
You can tweak your work, then we will use the wet felting technique to felt your artwork.
Session Four
We will look at your artwork and discuss which elements of your design you wish to add using the needle felting technique. Needle felting techniques will then be demonstrated to allow you to add your chosen details and embellishments to your piece. Your tutor will be on hand to give artistic advice as necessary and help with techniques as well.
Session Five
The session will start with a demonstration and you will produce samples of basic embroidery stitches. You will then get a chance to choose some beads from our growing stash. You can then consider how to use the stitches and the beads to embellish your work. The rest of the session will be spent adding the chosen details to your artwork.
