You will spend the day in the magnificent Scampston Hall conservatory in the award-winning walled garden. The workshop will give participants the skills and techniques to be able to create a unique piece of felt textile art.

Step by step we will work through the process for wet felting. Starting with the chosen design, laying out of the ‘dry’ wool fibres, adding accent fibres such as yarn and silk to create interest, then the ‘wet’ stage of adding water, soap, and friction to create a unique piece of fabric.
Felt is surprisingly strong, a lovely medium to stitch into, no two pieces will ever be the same, this should be embraced, this is the time to show your creativity, as the design can be adapted to add your personal mark.

We will look at ways you can embellish the design with hand embroidery. As felt can take a few days to completely dry, we will use sample pieces of felt. We will cover various ways you can embellish your design and the methods I use in my own felt pictures.
We will cover basic stitches that will complement your design, showing methods for transferring that design onto the felt.

A pack of threads to compliment your design will be yours to take and finish at home.
You do not need any prior experience; you will be provided with all the necessary materials to use on the day. Please bring a hand towel and a suitable bag to take your towel and wet work home with you.
