Silk Prefelts | Abstract Felt Wall Art (Beginners)

Felt Wall hanging
Vibrant colours and exciting textures


Saturday 20 June 2015
10.30 am - 4.30 pm
Cost £60 (including all materials)


In an idle moment, I was thinking about my jewellery collection. I'm sure you have something similar...mine is a mixture of inherited, bought and gifted. In particular, I have a lot of brooches, many of which aren't really my style, but which I would like to look at...if they weren't in a box. 
The idea I came up with for displaying my brooches is the basis for this first workshop of 2015. Jewellery adds a new dimension to the felt, creating interest, texture and a touch of glamour. 

  In this workshop you will
  • learn wet-felting techniques
  • create prefelt for decoration
  • use wool tops, knitting yarns and silks
  • experiment with colour and texture
  • design a functional and decorative wall hanging

What to bring: 
  • A small selection of jewellery: brooches are particularly good, but bring whatever you like
  • a couple of old towels (ie small bath towel and a hand towel)
  • any interesting mohair yarns or old silk scarves you may have
  • a plastic carrier bag (for taking home felt and damp towel)
  • bar of glycerine soap (unscented if possible - if not, Pear's will do)
  • notepad/pen
  • packed lunch
