This is a day for learning about a variety of techniques that can be used with wet felting to make felt pendants. Whether you would like to make that statement necklace, make felt beads or even to learn how to connect loops together Sarah will guide you each step of the way. Using soft, fine, coloured merino fibres you will learn how to design, measure and size your work to achieve great results. This workshop is suitable for beginners and the more advanced felter, If you have any stones, shells or special beads then do bring them along to incorporate in to your work. All other materials will be provided.

Extra information for students: - Please bring a notepad and pen (a camera is also useful, but not necessary, for visual reference) and a plastic bag to take your work home in. Although we will be using soapy water you should not get ‘wet’ or need to wear old clothes.
