Description:

FELT à la main with LOVE SOFT SCULPTURAL FLOWER 

Wool+Water+Agitation=Magic! In this introduction to wet felting workshop, you will learn how to make a soft sculptural hand-felted flower with Chantal Cardinal. Starting with a 2D flat layout of fibres, wetting it down, agitating it or felting it until it becomes a material, cutting it, fulling it and sculpting it into a 3D flower. You will be given different shaping and finishing options, like cutting petals and creating stamens. Felting tools will be standing by for you to use (bubble wrap, felting solution, soap, towel...). Fibre supplies will be provided to make one flower.  

Online pre-registration is required.  Image by Chantal Cardinal.
