Felted Jewellery February 21st (10am - 3pm)
Feltmaking is
a fun and sumptuously tactile craft. Anita will teach you techniques of making
solid felt forms such as beads,
discs, earings, bangles, rings and cords. Students will then be guided into
developing their own designs,
felting forms together into wonderful felted jewellery pieces and/or little
textile sculptures. A wonderful introduction
to feltmaking, and the wide range of shapes possible in felt.
Felt a Hat July 4th (10am - 3pm)
You will have
a fun day learning the skills of how to make your own unique felted hat. Anita
will share with you how to make a
pattern for a resist and calculate ‘shrinkage’ for your hat. Learn the resist
method of feltmaking, in which students
will be working directly from the soft tufts of wool into a beautiful felted
hat with your own hands. There is no
sewing. This method of making a felted hat is magic!
Felt a Scarf - Nuno Felting October 3rd (10am -
3pm)
You will learn how to make a fine felt scarf that incorporates
fabrics into the body of the felt. This is
called Nuno felting. Experiment with felting directly into the
body of various fabrics to create unusual textures, rippling and ruching of the fabrics occurs naturally
during this process. This is an inspiring day full of colour and texture. Discover how to blend colours in wool
together as well as the possibilities of delicate
lightweight lace felts. Seen them in the boutiques? Now make your very own!
