Sculptural Felt Vessels - wet felting online workshop
Learn how to make high quality sculptural felt that can be shaped in any form
In my online workshop “Sculptural felt pots / bowl and vessels”, I’m teaching how to create sculptural hollow forms in wet felting techniques.
Step by step I’m showing how to lay out loosen wool fibers (top wool) around a handmade polyéthylène template (bubble wrap can be an alternative) and how to transform it into high quality felt that can be sculptured in imaginable any form.
This online wet felting class is perfect for beginners and advanced felt makers
Even so this workshops is easy to follow for beginners I'm sure advanced feltmakers will have a blast, too!
It allows to push basic felting skills to another level. The template form is simple and allows to concentrate on the sculptural aspect of handmade felt. I explain what to pay attention to for making a high quality wool felt and also share a great technique to get an even, seamless felt without a border.
