Full Day Felted Pictures Workshop – 10.30am – 4pm – £75
Felting and free motion machine embroidery workshop. Learn how to create watercolours in wool!
Crafts in the Valley offers a range of textile and fused glass workshops at the Crafts in the Valley Studio in Cragg Vale, Hebden Bridge West Yorkshire.
In the Felted Pictures workshop you will have the opportunity to experiment with a range of textile skills including wet felting, needle felting, hand embroidery and free motion machine embroidery. By the end of the day you will have created a beautiful piece of felted artwork.
In the studio you will have access to a selection of beautiful dyed merino wool, alpaca or wool from British sheep, plus a range of speciality fibres. The wool fibres are purchased from the wonderful Wingham Wool Works or World of Wool. Only the best quality materials are used in the workshop.
A flat piece of felt is made using the simple process of wet felting; manipulating and matting wool fibres together using soapy water and a bit of elbow grease!
In the afternoon, extra detail and embellishment is added to the felt using needle felting and machine embroidery or hand embroidery if you prefer.
Most workshop participants opt to create a beautiful piece of felted art, some prefer to turn their felt into a more functional item. The choice is yours! Lots of inspiration and top quality materials will be available for you to work with.
This workshop is offered to individuals and private groups, it’s designed for art and craft lovers, beginners or experienced crafters. It is great for those new to art and crafts who simply want to enjoy a creative day out and try something new. The workshops have proved popular with mothers and daughters, couples, families and friends who wish to spend some quality creative time together. Lots of participants also come on their own and enjoying meeting friendly, new people.
The Calder Valley is a great place to visit or make a weekend of it if you are travelling far. Hebden Bridge is a quirky town filled with independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.
