Come and join Hannah at Stitching Kitchen for an introduction to the fascinating alchemy that is wet felting. Starting with wool fibres in a wide range of colours, you will have fun creating a piece of felt – which could be a picture or completely abstract. The finished fabric will be suitable to stitch into or ready to simply hang on the wall.
What you will learn/achieve
- The skills you need to be a successful felter
- How to select the fibres, layer them in the right way and then wet the wool and encourage it to knit together
- Once the initial wool tangling has been achieved, it is then onto the felting proper. Wet felting does take a bit of physical energy on your part but it is great fun and is worth the effort
- You will take home a finished item at the end of the session
