About the Course

Experiment and explore felt-making with a variety of different techniques to make one or two textural pictorial or abstract pieces of felt. These could also be made into a book or phone/tablet case at a later stage. Select from a wide choice of colourful supplied wool, plant and silk fibres. Explore mixing different colours and types of fibres together using carders. Embed textural yarn and fabrics into the felted surface to create texture and form.
