Make a beautiful felt bag in The Forest Of Dean

Description

Learn to make your own beautiful felt bag on this one day course. You will be shown how different styles of bags are made. You'll learn how to add handles, flaps or a pocket and how to design the pattern. You'll then be helped to make a bag to your own design. I have been making and teaching felt making for many years now, and have developed this range of courses to cover basic felt making techniques, to produce a finished item during the day, and to encourage further experimentation (and of course have lots of fun)!

I have an established background in designing and making textiles, working primarily with wool. With a passion for colour, I work with machine knitted and felted wearables and soft furnishings, which I applique, embellish or stitch. I have become fascinated by hand felting for the freedom of colour mixing, mark making and sculptural possibilities it offers, which I find very exciting .
