Come and spend a day exploring the ancient art of felt making. You will learn how to mix colours, using merino wool and how to 'paint' with wool to create pictures in felt. You will also create pre felts which can then be cut and inlaid to make designs that could be pattern based. These felts could be used as a wall hanging and further embellished with stitch at a later stage at home. You will look how this craft could be developed into other textile areas by looking at working craftspeople designs and ideas. If you have taken other felt courses the tutor will work with you to extend your knowledge of using colour and mixed fabrics in your felt making., Everyone from beginners to those with some experience who is interested in exploring a textile process. , It is important to note that craft courses are practical and require a degree of manual dexterity.
