 Hosted by Vicky, of Needlessly Felted, this workshop promises participants an immersive experience in crafting stunning landscapes through the mesmerising technique of wet felting.

 Wet felting is an ancient craft that involves using water, soap, and agitation to transform raw wool fibres into a dense and malleable material. In this hands-on workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn the intricacies of wet felting and create their own beautiful landscape designs under the expert guidance of local artist Vicky Pulman.

 Participants will be provided with all the necessary materials, including -

•  High-quality wool roving in a dazzling array of colours, textures and types
• Hand spun and dyed artisan yarns
• Raw and dyed silk fibres
• Sari silk fibres and scraps
• Curly locks
• Bamboo felting mats
• Fine mesh
• Rolling and fulling tools
• Natural olive oil soap.
• Water sprays
• We advise attendees to wear a pinny! Rubber gloves may be used if preferred. You may wish to bring a small hand towel and something with which to carry your wet work home.

 The workshop will cover essential 2D wet felting techniques, colour blending, and landscape design principles, as well as a look at the properties of each fibre type, allowing attendees to express their artistic visions in a tactile and dynamic way.

 Spaces for this workshop are limited to 6 due to space constraints, so early registration is encouraged. Attendees are encouraged to bring their inspiration or reference photos to personalise their landscapes. Light refreshments will be provided, as well as a lunch break offering participants the chance to mingle and share their artistic experiences. Food may be ordered from the cafe near to the workshop venue.
