South East London ArtNeedle-Felting (SELANF): NEEDLE FELTING WORKSHOP
Introduction to the art of Needle Felting, making a woodland bird
Description:
NeedleFelting a small woodland or fantasy bird.
Needle felting uses a special barbed needle and natural wool roving (all materials provided) in abundant colours to make 3 dimensional objects. Needle felting is a form of sculpture and you will use the wool like clay.
In this workshop you will learn the basics of needle felting simple shapes to make a realistic robin, blue-tit, wren or chick. Or you can invent your own colourful little bird and indulge your artistic flights of fancy.
Once you know how to do this you will have several of the basic techniques needed to needle felt. Your art world is literally open to creating beautiful and stunning objects that will astonish your family and friends.
This art or hobby can lead onto new art and craft adventures, or even a craft business and I will tell you how.
You can take home your make and needle.
Also, Look for the basics of wet- felting in our future workshop (15th February): In this class you will learn basic techniques including making simple eyes and using wire. Wet felting wool is a centuries old craft used to make everything from tents to clothing. You may remember felt from school that you cut up into shapes and fuzzy felt but what you will create here is nothing like that.This is a whole new art form where you will literally make the felt material as they did in ancient times from combed wool and create a 2 dimensional landscape picture that will have depth and texture. Using only water soap and a bit of elbow grease you will see the wool turn magically into a landscape before your eyes. Hopefully, you will then fall in love with felting and never look back.This tutorial will teach you the basics of how to felt wool roving into a beautiful piece of fibre art.
