Tutor Sue Pearl
10am - 4pm
This onsite, Nuno felting workshop is designed for improvers and those with more experience
Workshop Details
This workshop will be looking at different techniques in Nuno felt using additional materials such as silk fabric, silk lapp, Angelina and inclusions. The term Nuno felt means a fabric which is fused with wool fibre to create a textile which is lighter and has more flow than normal felt.
We will be making samples of the different techniques which can be used to create a folio of specialised Nuno fabrics to use for future projects. Using beautiful materials and lovely soft merino wool in a myriad of colours the students will be able to explore and, maybe even create their own unique Nuno felt samples based on the techniques learnt.
Skills/Techniques Covered
Materials
Materials are not included in your course fee. All materials will be provided by the tutor. The approximate cost of these will be £25 payable to the tutor during the workshop. The items you will need to bring with you are listed below.
Your tutor may not have the facilities to take card payments for materials in the workshops. Please remember to bring cash or your cheque book if your course involves buying materials from the tutor.
Please bring with you:
We advise that you do not buy any materials required for a course more than two weeks in advance, because occasionally a course is cancelled due to low enrolment.
