You will explore the concepts of surface design and learning a variety of wet felting techniques to produce your own individual artwork/collage. Sarah is an experienced, international, felt tutor who will be teaching you how to use different fibres, prefelts and fabrics (nuno) within feltmaking. You will focus on design and colour mixing of the fibres, cutting and layering techniques to produce samples and/or a finished collage.
Sarah will be there to guide you through each of the processes and will take time to discuss your individual ideas, developing your skills at your own pace. All materials will be provided but if you have any extra fabrics or threads you would like incorporated then please do bring along (natural ones like silk or cotton are best). You might also want bring a picture, photo or a drawing to help inform your final piece.
