SUMMER FELTED LANDSCAPE

On this workshop you will be taught how to ‘paint’ with wool and create a needle felted landscape. It’s very therapeutic and perfect for beginners and intermediate level. No artistic experience required.

Images of landscapes will be provided as inspiration to work from. 'Painting’ with wool is a magical process - fibres can be easily be added and removed without damaging the landscape. The soft cloudy quality of the fibre creates a diffused image, reminiscent of an impressionist painting.

You will learn how to lay out the dry loose wool fibres in layers onto the pre felt ‘canvas', much as you would when painting layers on paper for a water colour landscape painting. You will be guided every step of the way from colour choices to helping you create depth and perspective and light and shadow as you gradually needle felt the layers down while building up your landscape, with the final details being added in the foreground to further enhance your scene.

We will frame the finished piece so you can take it straight home an hang it on your wall or gift to someone special.
