A great introduction to making wet felted wearables. Create your own pair of fingerless gloves that fit you perfectly.
Spend the day creating some beautiful felted wrist warmers/ fingerless gloves in soft fine merino wool in your chosen colour.
Learn how to add silks, viscose or wool curls to embellish your gloves. Your gloves will be finished by the end of the workshop and ready to wear!
All materials supplied. Coffee, tea & biscuits available but please bring a lunch.
This class can be completed by beginners.
Please bring an apron we will be using warm soapy water to felt the gloves
Wet felting requires some hand and arm strength for rubbing and rolling the wool.

About the tutor:
I am a felt artist and love working in wool to create my art. My work is either wet felted or needle felted to create pieces inspired by nature and or the countryside around me. I love creating toadstools, animals, birds and flowers in both 2D pictures and 3D sculptures. I have been felting for about 18 years which started as a hobby and I fell in love with the process of making the fluffy wool into a piece of felt and the endless possibilities of the medium.
I began teaching felt making in schools and running workshops locally about 12 years ago.
I am continually learning from the process of felt making in both techniques which helps shape my art work.
