The Bag – using multiple resists
Tuesday 8th April 10.30am - 4.30pm Create a unique art piece that is useful as well as gorgeous. A basic shape that can be adapted by you, to suit you.
Using wool and the wet-felting technique, you will learn how to create a seamless, 3-D bag with an inside pocket. You may wish to add tabs, loops and magnetic clasp for closure. Choose from a variety of ways to decorate your bag or come with your own ideas. You will complete the workshop with a beautiful piece of your own artwork. |

Sunday 4th May 10.30am - 4.30pm A collaged, seamless neck warmer: cosy, unique and designed by you!

Playtime – experiment and learn surface decoration
Sunday 25th May 10.30am - 4.30pm I call this ‘Play’ because it is an opportunity to use and experiment with wool and a host of fabrics and other fibres with no pressure to produce a completed product. What happens when you combine wool, silk fibres; cotton gauze; silk fabrics, paper etc.
Whilst ‘playing’ you may create one large abstract piece; a picture; several small pieces. Any of these could be mounted in a box frame, used as a wall hanging, mounted on canvas or cards, or filed away with notes on how you achieved these exciting textures. This is a fun day with all materials provided and advice and guidance on hand. |

Pods and Vessels – using a resist
Sunday 8th June 10.30am - 4.30pm You will produce a container or a decorative sculptural piece or used to contain a plant or flowers.
The shape is up to you. You will use a ‘resist’ to create a 2-dimensional shape and ‘magically’ produce it into a 3-dimensional vessel. The magic of wool will allow your creativity to burst forth! |
