Landscape Felting with Heidi Wulfraat

This workshop is tailored to the beginner felter. Choose from kits available and discover the materials and techniques that will allow you to develop your own repertoire of felted works. Explore design and color elements, the “mood” of landscape, and the effective use of embellishment.
Heidi has created a new series of felted designs now patterned and available as kits for your exploration.“ I like to begin by working on a water color “sketch” of the image that I have in mind. These paintings are then translated to a felted medium. It’s a good fit for me. Both watercolor and felt flow with a certain ease of motion which can take you in a direction that you may never have expected!”
Min 5 participants, bring your group, booking are on-going
