ArtSpace Workshop: Painting with Wool
Wool felting is the process of meshing animal fleece fibers into a matted piece of fabric. This ancient form of creating textiles is used today in the making of vessels and scarves, children's crafts and original artworks.
During our workshop, we will learn the basics of needle felting, and use this technique to create a painterly, wool felted autumn landscape. While making a “felt painting,” students will explore the unique characteristics of wool as an artistic medium in its textures, layering, and color variations. Students will be encouraged to bring their own source material for their composition, such as a photo or sketch.
