TALL VESSELS – SCULPTURAL FELT – SOLD OUT please click the email link below if you would like to go on the waiting list This hands-on class explores the unique and sculptural qualities of handmade felt. Students will create a uniquely tall and hand-sculpted form while learning in-depth felting techniques that focus on colour & fibre blending, creating textural effects and raised surfaces, multiple resists, and incorporating mixed media and elementary stitch to name a few. Works will also be finished to a high standard, so they hold their shape over time! All levels |
4 Day | Monday 16 – Thursday 19 March 2026
FELT INSPIRED BY NATURE – SOLD OUT please click the email link below if you would like to go on the waiting list This workshop is all about creating hand-felted artworks with a Nature-Inspired theme. Techniques include using multiple resists, stitch & cording, rubber & wire, and achieving unusual textural effects in handmade felted forms. Locally gathered natural materials can be incorporated, while wool and other fibres can also be felted around solid objects such as drift-wood, sticks, stones and pebbles, and other (non-felting) materials that allow us to shape and mould wool fibres in unique ways. A hand-on workshop with lots of demonstrations and ‘playtime’. All levels |
