Jan February March and April Classes!


Dear Friends
How lovely - the start of a brand New Year!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful festive and peaceful period with family and friends.

I really must apologize for the delay in getting these new dates out. In December, our beloved cat Nellie passed away suddenly and we were in shock for quite a few weeks. We are all trying to just get a move on and I guess I have struggled with that over the festive period. At any rate it is going to take a bit of getting used to.
It is no excuse really but in case you were wondering....

I really hope to see you in class soon and don't forget, if you can't find a date that suits you and you have a couple of friends who would like to attend as well just get in touch. We can always find a day somewhere that will suit.
Love
Elizabeth

Basket of Flowers
2 weeks
10th and 17th March
19th and 26th April
I adore making flowers and finding new ways to use them. In this great beginner class we create flat and sculptural felt as well as cords, balls and wired curls! SO lots of great things to try out. Once all the elements are gathered we will applique them to a fabric base to create a really beautiful wall hanging.



 




Beautiful Bowls and Vessels!
2 week class
3rd and 10th February
21st and 28th April
To make seamless, three dimensional felt is just so exciting! Although this is more of an intermediate technique, beginners are certainly welcome. Mastering this technique is just wonderful because it is the key to bags and hats and so much more!

One of my most popular classes is nuno or fabric felt. Using silk and cotton and linen you can achieve some really stunning results. These 2 weeks involve 6-8 different samples. A great way to discover the many methods of achieving this gorgeous technique.
















Design to Felt
3 weeks
15th 22nd and 29th March
Have you ever wanted to start from scratch designing your own beautiful felts and textile pieces?  Then this may just be for you! You will create a set of your own designs using watercolours and inks on luscious watercolour paper from which one may be chosen to turn into your own felt masterpiece!
Perfect for the beginner or more experienced felter.
 
 




Patchwork Felt

Patchwork felt is a study in colour and prefelts. A great range of prefelts are made which are then turned into a magnificent  patchwork of colours! Hand embroidery is also included with a study of stitches that can be used to enhance the design.



 
Trees
3 Weeks
4th 11th and 18th March
Trees are a big part of our lives. In all shapes and sizes and colours they have the ability to enhance each day. For quite some years I have had loads of fun creating felts I could turn into trees! In this class there will be several textile methods covered to make these stunning textile trees!
