From the beginning your creativity will lead the way, whether it's something abstract, some decorative shapes or literally anything, you will get all the help you need to transform your already loved sweater, or other garment, into special, one of a kind textile!
What you'll learn in this workshop
You can join this workshop from whatever level, we will cover everything that is needed to have everyone on board!
- Basics of handling wool
- Basics of needle felting and equipment around it
- A little taste of wet felting, to secure your felted design on your garment
- Trusting the process and seeing where the wool takes you
Supplied by Presenter
All felting equipment and a colourful selection of wool will be provided!
Equipment & Requirements participants must bring
- Bring your own sweater! Or almost any textile.
- The only rule is, that the weave can't be too tight so we don't damage the fibres. Anything knitted or crocheted should work.
- Also any material, acrylic, cotton, blend, your garment doesn't have to be wool. (Please note, after adding wool to your textile, it can no longer be machine washed.)
- Also damaged pieces are welcome, since we can use this method to fix holes.
- For the wet felting section, bring your own hand towel to dry your hands if you wish.
