Felted Landscapes
With Alison Murphy
9am-12pm
Max 14 participants
Come and join me for an afternoon of felting and fun. In this class I will walk you through the step-by-step process of creating your own needle felted landscape. This two-dimensional dry felting technique is easy to learn and relaxing to practice. We will also discuss various animal fibres and their properties, learn about blending coloured wool, and look at how best to incorporate various materials and objects into your work. No experience necessary, but please bring an image of your favorite landscape as inspiration!
This image is from a 'Felted Landscapes' class I taught over the winter.
