Workshop: Wet felt flower brooch (BBC 2806)

Explore the art of wet felting and create your own brooch in wool, with Lizzie Brown Suitable for beginners and those with some experience, this fun, colourful and creative wet felting workshop will give you the opportunity to learn a new craft or practice an existing skill in order to create your own wool brooch to take home. Adults and teens 16+ are welcome. Please note teens must be accompanied by an adult with their own ticket. With the setting of Bradfield Woods as your inspiration, you will use fine, colourful merino sheep wool and the age-old technique of wet felting to develop your own flower to clip or pin to your favourite outfit, or keep as a home decoration! Lizzie Brown of Felt Fantastic will guide you to work with soap & water and use a massage technique to turn the natural wool fibres into a felt fabric. Lizzie will provide all the materials you will need to transform this fabric into your perfect artistic brooch. You can bring your own photos with you as a guide, let the reserve fuel your creativity or follow the samples Lizzie will show you on the day. Lizzie will share her experience and passion for wet felting and provide guidance on how you can explore this versatile and creative craft further.
