Techniques
The workshops are designed to be relaxing and to enable people to enjoy learning a particular skill, whether as a beginner or improver. The artist runs workshops regularly at Liss Yarns, Turtle Bean, The Triangle Centre and Broadlands Meadows Alpaca Farm. Bespoke group workshops can be arranged to suit individual needs and the artist can travel to run a workshop at a venue of choice. It can be great fun to get a group of people together and enjoy felting.
The artist carries a current enhanced DBS check and is happy to work with groups of children and can adapt workshops as necessary.
Wet Felting is an ancient method of making material that has been used for thousands of years to make tents, sleeping bags and carpets. Needle felting was developed in the 1980s and nuno felting in the 1990s.
