Special Event – The Magical Art of Felt Collage with Wendy Bailye

This is an exclusive workshop developed for Western Australian felters and has not been taught online.

Learn the magical art of felt collage. Explore the tips and tricks that help you succeed in using layers of felt fabric and fibres to create colourful, texture rich imagery that stays where you put it!

Use abstract or pictorial styles to spice up your work leading you to a new level of creative imagery.

We will play with a wide variety of materials and techniques. This is a sample-based class.

We will explore partial felts, prefelts, paper, surface painting and decorating, layering, and textural collage. Explore the endless possibilities of the felted surface!

Wendy has been a feltmaker for over 30 years. Her creative work revolves around her love of textiles and making. She have always been a creative soul and always, always, connected to the marvellous, transformative, and comforting essence of wool. Wendy loves using natural fibres and is inspired by their innate qualities.

“Making art has always been like breath for me. I create fundamentally because of the balance it gives me. My favourite works reference my daily life, the textures and patterns of the natural world, particularly my garden, resident birds, and my travels- these things inspire me incredibly. I work predominately with felting and textiles but also have a mixed media practice which includes painting, printing , ceramics and jewellery making. Creativity is truly my life blood. I love teaching and am passionate about exploring the intricacies of the creative process within sample based classes.”
