Wet Felt - abstract art samples for stitching

Description

Join us for a day of wet felting at Stitching Kitchen. Using Merino Wool Fibers and a range of other prefect, fibres and open weave fabrics you can create a series of felt samples which can then be used for stitching.

We will lay out fibres in colours which will form the initial prefelt. We will select colours using colour theory to create a cohesive pallet for your felt samples. Once the initial prefelt is formed we will then cut into shapes and add various textures, colours and fibres to give the abstract felt pieces interest.

You may need to complete some of final felting stages are a later date or at home. Once the tiles are fully felted and dry you can decorate them with stitch, paint. We will spend the last part of the day discussing ideas for decoration and also uses for the samples and how to potentially mount or display them.

What's included - All materials, tutition, fun, tea and cake

What to bring - a couple of towels for rolling the felt and keeping your hands dry. A packed lunch, we will stop for a rest at the half way point. I stock all the tools and wool roving you will need to continue at home, you may want to bring your purse.
