Wet Felting with Surface Textures

with Margaret Hall

This sculptural workshop will introduce you to surface texture on wet felted pieces. We will start with the creation of structurally sound flat felt using the wet felting technique. We will then move to learning 4 surface techniques: attaching silk paper motifs, using stitching to create surface texture, attaching felted pieces and using a resist.

All supplies are included with registration. This art sampler is suitable for all skill levels (beginners are welcome). For ages 16+.

About Margaret R. Hall

Margaret has enjoyed exploring a variety of textile and fibre arts since she learned to knit as a child. Her more recent passions have been the sculptural properties of wool and enjoying the vast differences of fibre types from various sheep breeds and other fibre producing mammals.

Margaret has been felting for over 20 years and strives to improve her techniques through courses, collaboration and experimentation. She finds pleasure in combining her skills of felting with her other fibre arts skills. Her love of hats has recently taken her to complete a 2 year millinery course and add further to her repertoire.

By teaching and mentoring and collaborating with others she finds a renewed delight in all that is wool.
