Intro to 3D wet felting; make a small vessel using a resist with Purr & Wag It, Tabletop Workshops

X

Description

Fixed dates don’t suit? Looking for a private workshop? For this one my home studio will accommodate 6 max. If your group is larger I can travel to you but please message me as such workshops are priced differently. Good for those of you who already know the basics of 2D wet felt making. If you have no experience of wet felting you may need to complete the fulling process at home. Heather will guide you through the layering technique to make a seam free vessel, the gateway to all things 3D whatever the scale. With a maximum of four participants, these three and a half hour workshops are designed to provide everybody with plenty of time for one on one attention. Heather always aims for sessions to be flexible to individual participants needs. Tabletop Workshops, the teaching arm of Purr & Wag It runs out of Heather’s Camberwell home. There will be plenty of home made cake, teas and/or coffee to keep you going. Please note if there are less than 3 signed up for a date the workshop may not run. Wet felt making is a simple process (once you know how) made up of a series of repetitive actions. Many people find it relaxing and some a stress buster. But, elements of felt making are quite vigorous and very hands on. If you have arthritis in your hands you may find parts of the process challenging. That being said it’s not stopped anybody before and Heather is very happy to help you with vigorous parts of the process. Want to know when new dates and courses are being added? Or, if you're looking for something a little different, send me a message via the 'message the tutor' button to discuss a bespoke package/the perfect date for you. Allergies to cats or indeed wool? Please note Heather has three cats (they’ll be elsewhere in the house during the workshops). Antihistamines are available but her workshops may not be for you.
