Toss n Tell this Saturday
|
|
|
|
Hope you have all had a great month. Toss n Tell is just around the corner and this month we are having a hands on felting challenge:
|
Reduce Reuse Recycle – Single Use Plastic in Felting
|
|
|
Felting without plastic? Is this possible?
Plastic sheets, bags, bubble wrap, resist material, drawer liners, spray bottles….. we rely on a variety of forms of plastic in our felting process. How can we change this? Come along and join in an interactive session to share ideas and try out a variety of alternatives to felting without plastic. All materials supplied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We will commence our Marks Over Time sessions this Toss n Tell with a discussion about our theme. Indeed, why do we have a theme? Isn’t that just a topic?
|
Are you stuck with the meaning of our theme? What is a "mark"? And what has it got to do with time! We will discover this together.
|
|
Plus any other questions, ideas or clarifications you may have.
|
|
|
|
|
Every session will be published on the web site under Members - Marks Over Time. The top half of the page has the latest info about the procedures of the Exhibition and if you scroll down you'll find the Toss n Tell sessions.

All welcome for the hands on fun. Plus a bit of chit chat.

Skills Extension - Flaps & Fins

In this workshop we will explore different ways of making felt flaps and fins, and how they can be used to make dramatic features on your felt, or can form flaps on bags and purses. Participants will explore several different methods for making flaps and fins on their sample piece, and will develop the skills and confidence to add flaps …

Skills Extension - Cut Snakes

This is a fun, experimental workshop using lots of colour and a wide variety of techniques. Multi-layered solid cords will be made and wound and stitched into prefelts. After felting, you will cut into your work to expose layers of colour, raised surfaces and negative spaces.
