Description
South East London ArtNeedle-Felting (SELANF): Introduction to the art of Wet Felting a Landscape.
Description:
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. Your art world is literally open to creating beautiful and stunning objects that will astonish your family and friends.
