Description

Leading up to the Solstice is a powerful time to manifest, so we invite you to come lean into summer and join us for this special Summer Solstice workshop where you will be taught how to ‘paint’ with wool and create this light-filled Stonehenge felted landscape. Included is a delicious home made high tea prepared by The Oast Bakery downstairs! This workshop is an ideal way to unwind and enjoy the therapeutic quality of creating with pure wool fibre where Cecily Kate will guide you every step the way. Perfect for beginners and intermediate level, you will be amazed by the magical process. Fibres can be easily added and removed without damaging the landscape. You will learn how to lay out the dry loose wool fibres in layers onto a felt ‘canvas', much as you would when painting layers on paper for a water colour landscape painting. The colour palette of wool provided will help you create depth, perspective, light and shadow as you gradually needle felt the fibres down while building up your landscape, adding final details in the foreground to further enhance this stunning scene. The soft cloudy quality of the fibre creates a diffused image, reminiscent of an impressionist painting. We will frame the finished piece so you can take it straight home an hang it on your wall or gift to someone special, and with Father’s Day just around the corner, this summer sun-filled workshop celebrates the masculine energy in our lives and would make a beautiful gift for your dad, stepdad, grandfather, or father figure! Please note, this is a needle felting workshop - no wet felting involved. The Oast Studio is a remote tranquil creative space set in the rolling hills of the Ashdown Forest, just a stone's throw away from where AA Milne wrote Winnie the Pooh. You can easily pop over to Pooh Sticks Bridge from the studio. There are some lovely choices for accommodation if you are coming from afar and need to stay over night so please get in touch (via the 'message the tutor' button). Unplug from the noise - nourish your soul - create something beautiful, with every fibre of your being.
