Wet and Needle Felted Hare Picture with Eve Marshall

Come along and learn how to wet felt a meadow picture using a mix of merino wool, curls and silk fibres. You will spend the first hour choosing colours and layering up wool and textures to create your background. Then we will stick the fibres together using warm water, soap and agitation. The wet felting process takes about 20 minutes and requires a bit of rolling and rubbing the wool with your hands.

Once felted you will learn how to use a single felting needle to add a realistic hare on to your meadow background.

The finished piece will be approximately a4 size

Please wear comfortable clothing and sleeves that you can roll up
We will be using fairy liquid, please bring gloves if you are sensitive
We will be using wool fibres, this is not recommended for people that have a wool allergy
Sharp needles will be used for needle felting, please handle with care
