Painting with Wool Workshop

Join me for an exciting and creative workshop where you will explore the fascinating art of painting with wool. Whether you have a specific photograph in mind or simply an idea you'd like to bring to life, this workshop will teach you how to transform wool fibers into a beautiful piece of art using wet felting techniques.

During the workshop, you will learn the step-by-step process of laying out fine merino wool to create a picture with depth, texture, and vibrant colors. I will guide you through the techniques, helping you understand how to manipulate the wool fibres to achieve your desired effects.

Once you have completed the wet felting process, the next stage of the artwork involves adding embroidery details. You have the option to choose between hand embroidery or machine embroidery, allowing you to personalize your piece and showcase your own unique style. This part of the process is done at home, giving you the freedom to take your time and add intricate details.

To display your finished artwork, you have two choices. You can either create a circular piece that fits snugly into a 35cm round bamboo hoop (included in the workshop price), which provides a contemporary and ready-to-hang display option. Alternatively, you can make a square piece that can be later framed, allowing you to explore different framing options and suit your personal taste.

All materials needed for the workshop are included, ensuring you have everything necessary to bring your wool painting to life. From high-quality merino wool fibres in an array of beautiful silks fibres, recycled fabrics, wool yarn, and the bamboo hoop, we have you covered.

Join us for this unique and immersive workshop where you'll explore the versatility of wool as a medium and unleash your artistic potential.
