Lincoln: Wet and Needle Felted Puffin Picture
Lincoln: Wet and Needle Felted Puffin Picture
Faff with fluff and create a quirky Puffin picture using Merino wool, colourful curls and pre felt.
Play with colourful wool and textures to wet felt your background in the first part of the class.
Wet felting begins with hot soapy water poured over your layers of wool, then learn how to agitate, roll and throw the piece to make the wool fibres felt and shrink. The finished piece will be approximately a4 size.
Learn how to needle felt shapes to create a trio of puffins on your picture. Flying, swimming and standing puffin poses will be taught, you decide which 3 you’d like to ad to your picture.
Over the last 15 years of teaching felting I have developed techniques to help guide students to create artworks they are proud of. The techniques I use show you step by step to create each puffin using fibres that I use to create my own art.
Please note:
- We will be using a tiny amount of fairy liquid during the wet felting process, please bring gloves if it irritates your skin.
- We will be felting with wool, if you allergic to wool or lanolin please do not book
This class can be completed by beginners.
Eve Marshall teaches the instant gratification process of felting where a large part of the morning is playing with colourful fluff and shiny fibres.
