Hands on and exploratory sessions focusing on learning a textile technique, including its history and practise. This pair of workshop sessions will explore wool felting; both needle felting and wet felting. We will explore some of the history of wool and felted materials before deciding a design and choosing materials. The project resources are then taken home to work on during the break between sessions and in the second session the textile piece is finished to take home.
