An intro to wet felting pictures workshop. This workshop gives participants all the basic information and skills to learn the technique of wet felting. Create your very own artwork from dry wool fibres, silk fibres, knebbs, yarns and much more.

This method of felting uses soap, warm water and agitation to tangle fibres together to create felt. In approximately 6 hours you will explore making your own artwork, you will be guided through choosing colours and textures and the wet felting process. You do not need any prior experience and you will be provided with all the necessary materials and equipment.
