Unleash your inner Monet and learn how to create a beautiful impressionist-style 8×10-ish painting using wool fiber and wet felting techniques! You will be using a photo of your choice for inspiration to create a simple flower design, floral still life, landscape or seascape scene. The instructor will demonstrate the basic method of how to prepare the wool base, discuss techniques for adding colors represented in your photo, show you how to create different flower & leaf shapes, and illustrate ways to enhance your layout by adding small amounts of fabric, silk, wool nepps, art yarns and other fun embellishments. Once your layout is complete you will add soapy water and finish the process using wet felting techniques. At the end of the workshop you will leave with a beautiful textural piece that can be further embellished with hand embroidery, machine stitching, beading and/or other decorations (optional). Your finished piece can be mounted on canvas, framed or made into a decorative accessory. Note: This class requires the handling of merino wool and use of mild soap (Dawn & Olive Oil). Not recommended for persons with highly sensitive skin. Some rolling of felt is required. Please bring: 2 old bath towels, small pail for water, small pair of sharp scissors and a photo for inspiration (optional). Students will take a short break for lunch.
