This workshop is for Felters with good felt making experience who wish to learn a new techniques that will take their felting in a very dimensional direction. These techniques are great for adding interest to your bags, hats and vessels or to create sculptural pieces and felted forms.

Shibori Felt - Dimensional Textures (2 day workshop)
TBA
Participants will learn to hand-dyeing silk material as a base cloth and then using this, create a number pre-felts including ‘Nuno’ pre-felts. These pre-felts will then be used to create different samples using the “Shibori” felting process. Participants can then decide what ‘Shibori’ processes they would like to include in making an object of their choice such as an artwork, vessel or bag, etc.
The first day of the workshop is about preparation: dyeing silk, making pre-felts, testing and experimenting. The second day of the workshop is using some of these prepared pieces in an object of their choice. Participants will learn how to embed the “Shibori” piece into an item and explore texture and colour balance, etc.
