North East in Blossom 2025: Feltmaking workshop with RT Projects
Create your own unique piece of artwork with wool, silk and yarns, using the ancient art of wet felting.
- Booking essential
This workshop is an excellent introduction to wet felting. You will learn how to handle and lay out the wool fibres to create a background for your picture, and layer it up with a variety of wool, silk and yarns to create texture and detail. You will finish your picture by felting it with soap and water.
If you have a image you would like to make, then do bring it along, otherwise Kath from RT Projects will have some on hand to use for inspiration.
