Creative Highlights – Wet Felted Landscapes

Artist Claire Priestley is a member of Network Artists North East, and The International Feltmakers Association.

Event Date

13 October 2024

Description

Learn how to create your own landscape using merino wool, and then embellish with a variety of effect fibres including silks, Wensleydale curly wool, Angelina Fibre, Nepps and hand spun yarn.

To make it more personal, the scenery you will be creating can be a landscape of your choice. Please bring a small towel and a photograph to use as inspiration. By the end of the session you will have a beautiful piece of artwork to take away, and the skills needed to create similar wet felted artwork. Your finished landscape will measure approximately 25cm x 25cm.

Light refreshments and all materials are included. This half-day workshop is perfect for both beginners and those wishing to refine their felting skills.
