Colour Play

We are surrounded by colour everyday.

It’s everywhere we look, in everything we eat and everything we wear.

It would be truly hard to imagine a world without colour.

Yet, when it comes to using colour, it can be a mystery!

Why do some colours work so well together while others don’t?

And how do great colour combinations happen?

In this one-and-a-half-day workshop, we will explore exactly this… and how we can use colour to great effect in our felt-making.

On the second day, we will introduce the element of stitch into our samples. Stitching is an excellent way to add colour and texture to felt. You don’t need to be a pro with a needle and thread; even the most basic stitches can be very effective. Again, just bring along your stash of threads, yarns and all things threadable, with a variety of hand-sewing needles.

And get ready for a colourful adventure!

About Alison

Ever since I discovered the ancient art of hand-felting, over 15 years ago, I haven’t been able to stop!  I particularly enjoy nuno-felting as it allows me to create layered designs and bring even more texture to my work.

Over the years I have honed my skills by participating in several technique-specific workshops with specialist felt artists, both from Australia and overseas.

I have complemented this learning with constant experimentation on my own.

My unabashed love for colour has made its way into my felt work and I relish putting together unusual or striking combinations that truly make each piece unique.  Bold, bright, dreamy, deep, mysterious, unforgettable colours… I love them all. 

Another element of my work is the detailed hand-sewing I do on several pieces.  Embellishing my work with hand-stitching adds another layer of texture and makes each piece that much more personal.
