Felt Pot Workshop
Here’s something a little different!
Rachel our Felting Tutor has recently discovered an alternative and fun way of creating a 3D vessel by felting around a Ball!
For this Workshop you will learn how to create your own Felt Pot from the outside in which is the opposite way to the usual felt bowl method of working inside to out.
Your design is placed around the Ball before adding fibre layers in small amounts on top, much like a papier-mâché technique and it is kept wet by spraying with warm soapy water throughout.
Once the fibre layers are complete your felt pot is encased in thin plastic and some tights (to secure the layers) before sessions of bouncing the ball on the table surface commences. This is when the fun truly starts!
After a few sessions of bouncing and hand felting we have the exciting moment of turning your pot the right way around to reveal your pot design!
All equipment and materials are provided as well as aprons - with the bouncing method some soapy water inevitably flies around!
This workshop is suitable for absolute beginners and also people with some experience of felting.
The Workshop is from 10am until 4pm and costs £99.
Refreshments will be served throughout the day - just bring your lunch.
PLEASE NOTE - Participants need choose their colour fibre pack on booking. These are pre-prepared (carded) by Rachel and slight colour variations may occur during the carding process.
Choices are:- 1. Oranges 2. Greens. 3. Aquas. 4. Blues
