Felted Book Cover

Combine fine wool, silk and even paper to make a beautiful and reusable book cover in shades of blue from the palest forget-me-not to midnight.

The cover will be formed around a central flat resist and will be made up of layers of wool, silk fabric and prefelt, then decorated with dyed prefelt and Japanese paper before being carefully wet felted to produce the required shape.

A pre-cut former will be used to finish the shaping to fit snugly onto the hardback sketch book provided (choice of A5 or 150cm square).

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced felters.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials are included in the workshop fee.

Mixed Media Botanicals and Birds

Discover the joy of playful experimentation in this hands-on workshop. You’ll create your own Spring-inspired mixed media image using intuitive painting techniques such as inks and bleach, watercolours, and wax resist.

Once your painting begins to take shape, you’ll explore free machine embroidery — using stitch as a mark-making tool to enhance and transform your artwork.
There will be plenty of options for those who wish to take the theme further: adding birds or butterflies, experimenting with carbon paper for drawing, or incorporating stencils. Mixed media is wonderfully creative — there are no rules, just curiosity and a willingness to have a go.

No prior experience is necessary. Your tutor will guide you through the process and respond to individual ideas and needs.

A light lunch, refreshments and materials are provided, however please bring your own sewing machine. If you don’t have one, please let us know in advance so that we can arrange one for you to borrow.
