In this popular workshop, participants create a flat, wet-felted picture based on a photo you bring from home. It can be your own photo, something you find online or from a magazine, anything to provide inspiration! Chris suggests landscapes, houses, simple animals, etc. She will guide you through the "painting with fibre" process, and provide tips on how to embellish the finished art piece later.
Tools and equipment will be provided. We will have a "pool" of fibre for participants to use, as well as a prefelt piece to use as the foundation layer. Supplies are an additional $10 which you can purchase at the store the day of the workshop. For additional colour choices bring feltable wool fibre from home if you wish.
