                                        An Introduction to Wet Felting and Embellishment

Make stunning wet felted pieces to either embellish, needle felt on or leave unadorned. We 
will be using wonderful lustrous silk added to carded roving which is ideal for seascapes and 
colourful pieces which can be used to create pictures, make book covers, spec cases or even 
to use as lampshades. The pieces will need o be taken home to thoroughly dry but I will have 
some ready made pieces for you to make a small item and I will demonstrate how to add 
beads, stitching, Angelina etc to your felted pieces to create something really unique. 

Dates available: Sunday 22 Feb
