Description
WAFTA members are invited to discover the joy and possibilities of felting on a precious scale with Martien van Zuilen in her exciting two day workshop. Learn a variety of innovative techniques to make uniquely shaped components suitable for jewellery, small sculptures, embellishments and more.
Make ingenious beads (aptly named Scrunch, Spike, Dotty, Fangs, ColorCuts, and Twirls), incorporate wire and tubing, and create one-of-a-kind Pendants, Brooches, Necklaces and more, more, more… anything is possible.
This is a fully hands-on workshop with lots of 'play time', resulting in inspired creations finished to a high standard, and inspiration for future projects to boot! All levels of experience welcome.
