The year is rapidly disappearing and dare we say it - Christmas is on its way!
|
Our last workshop for the year is now open for bookings. Wool Underglass with Vimol is the first time this style of picture making has been taught at Feltwest. You bring the image of your choice and Vimol will guide you through the techniques to produce a beautiful "painted" picture. Vimol is such a generous teacher it is sure to be a great workshop and a wonderful way to finish the year.
|
This Saturday is also the last Skill Extension for 2023, and is sold out. The 2024 calendar will start to be filled out soon - keep your eye on the web site. We have some very exciting opportunities next year.

a workshop with Vimol Imsanguan
|
A picture paints a thousand words.
Wool has a soft ethereal quality to it which makes it perfect to paint with. Like oils, pastels, and watercolours, wool can be blended and shaded to create soft hues and palettes.
|
|
Join Vimol in a new technique and bring out your inner painter. Using various techniques to create depth through layering, and fine detail you will create a watercolour like painting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this workshop, you will create picture using wool and various types of fibres. You will learn to layer wool for background without felting, then create detail with various techniques to manipulate wool into shapes and design including needle felting.
|
Estimated materials list $20

Colour Play with Alison Gomes
|
What an exciting learning curve the ladies had with Alison.
|
|
They were asked to go out of their “comfort zone” in colour choice and some were amazed that they actually liked the colours they previously would never have worked with.
|
|
They made many samples on day one and then on day two they had a great time stitching their pre-felts.
|
|
Alison showed the ladies many different stitches that work well in pre-felt. As this work shop was learning all about colour they went home with a head full of new ideas to try.

The Innovative Stitches group brings a different perspective to the practice of embroidery to reflect on preserving relationships, values and experiences that are meaningful to them.
