Welcome to the fascinating alchemy that is wet felting.&nbsp; Starting with wool fibres in a wide range of colours we will create a piece of felt &ndash; which could be a picture or completely abstract. &nbsp;The finished fabric will be suitable to stitch into or just hang on the wall. &nbsp;
During the workshop you will learn all the skills you need to be a successful felter.&nbsp; You will choose the fibres, layer them in the right way and then wet the wool and encourage it to knit together.&nbsp; Once the initial wool tangling has been achieved it is then onto the felting proper, it does take a bit of energy on your part but is worth the effort.&nbsp;
You will take home a finished item at the end of the session and I will keep you motivated with tea and cake!&nbsp;
If you want to continue at home, I always have plenty of wool roving and felting tools in stock.
