'Felt Creature Workshop'
with Sue Pearl.

Thursday to Saturday

Design & create your own wondrous beasties. The felt creatures are made on an armature & then felted & sculpted. On this three-day course you will start with an introduction to flat & three-dimensional felt. You will learn how to design & construct the basic skeleton, how to build up the shape & then prepare the finishing layers, mixing colours & adding detail. You will be shown how to felt & sculpt your creature & then how & what to apply for the finishing touches. The course will take you through all the steps to the production of a whimsical & unusual creature.
