Britain's What's On Event Guide
Workshop: Textures in Felt - Create a Seamless Bag
With V Hayward
Wet Felting is the ancient art of turning sheep's wool into a stunning structural and tactile textile that can be used for a huge range of applications. Felt has a history of being used for shelter, comfort, insulation, fashion and more. It truly is a wonderful fabric!
In this workshop participants will be creating small seamless bags by felting around a template, adding inclusions of specialty fibres and fabric scraps to create beautiful textures in the felt. A fabric handle will also be attached to the bags to complete them. The workshop will be suitable for both complete beginners and those who have some prior experience of wet-felting.
What to bring:
Materials (wool, selected silks, fabric scraps and more) will be provided, however you are welcome to bring any particular scraps of thin fabric (natural fibres such as cotton or silk are best) that you might want to try incorporating into your felt.
There will be a lunch break in the middle of the session in the QPAC coffee bar. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase but you may also want to bring your own lunch with you.
