Wet Felted Garden Scenes

Learn how to transform soft wool fibres into a stunning, textured floral artwork. Using a combination of wet felting and dry needle felting, you will create a vibrant, tactile piece focused on colour, texture, and dimension.

During this workshop, you will:

• Learn the foundations of wet felting to create a soft, impressionist-style background.
• Using soap, water, and friction, you’ll blend wool roving to form a seamless, painterly base of sky and meadow.
• Discover dry needle felting techniques to add vibrant focal points and fine details.
• Using specialised barbed needles, you will sculpt intricate flowers, leaves, and garden elements directly into your base.
• Master blending and layering wool to create rich colour transitions and a sense of organic movement.
• Create a sense of depth and form, bringing your garden to life.

This workshop is a sensory and creative experience that invites you to express yourself and explore the unique, transformative properties of wool.

You’ll leave with a completed, framed artwork and the skills to continue your fibre art journey.
