Wet Felted Seascape Picture

What You’ll Learn

Create your very own unique seascape picture from wool

This workshop will give you an introduction to the exciting and colourful world of felting. Wet felting is a technique that uses soap and water to bind the wool fibres together. I will take you through the process of creating your very own felted seascape picture (9×7 inches approx.) inspired by the Cornish coast to take home.

You will learn how to lay out the wool fibres to create the base layer. After choosing the colours, I will introduce you to different ways of using wool to create different effects. Other fibres such as sari silk threads can be added at this stage. 

You will then be taken through the felting process using water and soap. 

Finally, the piece is rolled until fully felted. 

All materials will be provided 

Olive soap is used in the workshop, but you may bring your own soap if required. Also please bring protective gloves if handling wool is an issue.

You will need to bring 2 towels (1 medium and 1 small) and a bag to take your work home as it will need drying at home.

I studied Art and Design and then took a degree in Action Photography at Truro College. I was an event photographer for 12 years covering horse events across Cornwall. In 2018 I went back to my art roots and found the world of felting and subsequently set up my business creating colourful gifts and home décor pieces particularly my unique
lampshades.
