A event held at Sparks Bristol on Saturday 20th June. The event starts at 11:00.
New workshop! We will be using colourful wool tops and needle felting techniques to add a design of your choice to your clothes.
This is a 2.5 hour workshop in which you can get creative with wool. We will spend the first hour picking out a design and choosing the right colours of wool before we go through the basics of how to create shapes, colour mixing and getting started on your piece!
Needle felting is done by punching loose strands of wool onto fabric with a felting needle. This workshop is an introduction to needle felting and is a creative way of using wool to add texture, colour and personality to your clothes. This technique works best on knitwear but can also be used on other natural materials like denim. Keep in mind that you will have to handwash your items once you have felted them! If you don't want to bring any clothes but still want to learn the techniques then you will be able to work on a piece of felt to practice and take home with you.
All materials are provided and we'll be hosting you at the Slow Fashion Studio inside Sparks, Broadmead.
We can't wait to see what you create!
