Description

This course is for a maximum of two people and the cost is also for two people. Please look at the calendar to arrange a mutual convenient date. Discover how to make a floaty, beautiful Nuno felted scarf using fine wool fibre tops in gorgeous colour ways. Add plant and other fibres to create texture and lustre all felted and embedded onto a long silk scarf or cotton fabric. With highly experienced fibre artist and tutor Josephine Gornall in her warm studio which is in the historic Birchcliffe Centre nestled above Hebden Bridge near woodland. There will be lots of samples of Nuno felting and scarfs for inspiration. I will do a demonstration of the nuno felting technique. You will then be able to experiment by making a small sample piece(s) felting wool and other fibres onto loose weave fabrics before starting the scarf. Suitable for those that have tried wet felting before but not necessarily nuno felting which is wet - felting wool and other types of fibres onto the surface of the fabric to make a strong but drapey piece of fabric. It is ideal for making scarves and lightweight clothing. The workshop is held in Josephine's studio in the lovely Birchcliffe Centre. The Birchcliffe Centre is a fully accessible building. There is free car park. There is also well priced accommodation right next door nestled in the woods, if your travelling a distance. A Railway station in Hebden Bridge and a regular bus service which stops right outside the Birchcliffe centre. Hebden Bridge is well known for its wonderful mix of independent shops and cafes. Fabulous countryside walks.
