Workshop: Wet feltingat Lackford Lakes Nature Reserve & Visitor Centre

Explore the art of wet felting and create your own picture in wool, with Lizzie Brown

Suitable for beginners and those with some experience, this fun, colourful and creative wet felting workshop will give you the opportunity to learn a new craft or practice an existing skill in order to create your own wool picture to take home.

With the setting of Bradfield Woods as your inspiration, you will use fine, colourful merino sheep wool and the age-old technique of wet felting to develop your own picture from wool.

Lizzie Brown of Felt Fantastic will guide you to work with soap & water and use a massage technique to turn the natural wool fibres into a felt fabric. Lizzie will provide all the materials you will need to transform this fabric into your perfect artistic composition. You can bring your own photos with you as a guide, let the reserve fuel your creativity or follow the sample felted pictures Lizzie will show you on the day.

When you have completed your picture, Lizzie will demonstrate 3D wet felting and show you a variety of hand felted items that can be created using a similar method. Lizzie will share her experience and passion for wet felting and provide guidance on how you can explore this versatile and creative craft further.

Lizzie has been running www.feltfantastic.uk for a number of years and has run many workshops for adults and young people.
