Saturday will be filled with projects! After a 9:00am breakfast, you’ll learn about
needle felting tools and materials and how to manipulate fibers to needle felt fine
lines, blend colors and fill spaces. You’ll learn about creating the illusion of
distance in a landscape and how to form buildings and trees. Techniques will
include shading and highlighting to create depth and volume. The morning’s
project will be a landscape collage using prefelt, wool roving, “felted fertilizer”
and yarn. You’ll learn ways to mount or frame your artwork and view felting
resources and examples. Lunch will be served at 12:30. In the afternoon, you’ll use
layers of fluffy wool to create a landscape and wet felt it into fabric using soap,
water, friction and felting tools. We will also tour the mill! Supper is at 6:00, and
the evening can be used to socialize, rest or finish some of the day’s projects.
Ready for more? There will be an optional bonus project!
