Introduction to Wet Felting

10:00am - 12:30pm or 1:30pm - 4:00pm

Learn the ancient craft of wet felting. You will learn how to handle unspun wool; identify a selection of different fibres and the process of laying the wool correctly so that it will interlock when wet. You will produce a textured picture from soft, unspun wool - or go wild with an abstract piece!

Please bring an old towel to work on, a waterproof bag to take damp work home in and, should you wish, an apron.

Hot drink and cake included. All equipment provided.

Penny Dixon is a textile artist who has been felting and teaching workshops for over 18 years. She is a member of the International Feltmakers Association and the Heritage Crafts Association, and her work often reflects inspiration from organic forms encountered on long muddy dog walks.
