Tuition:$132 plus $30 materials fee
Students will bring a painting, sketch or photo of a still life or landscape to be translated into an artistic felt hanging. We will craft wool roving into a sketching tool, allowing the handcrafted material to lend its unique line quality to the. Students will then practice blending and layering of natural dye wool fiber to act like layers of paint in a watercolor. All the wool painting will be done on a handmade wool/fabric canvas allowing the students to incorporate the fabric lamination into the surface design of the wool painting. After design work is done, students will work on hand rolling techniques first felt and then full the art piece.Various techniques for the felt will be demonstrated.
