DAWN EDWARDS

In this three-day workshop, we will create fabulous felt vessels inspired by nature. Perhaps you would like to create a vessel resembling a woodsy forest floor, or a vessel inspired by the cracked surface of the Atacama Salt Flats of Chile, or even a Paperbark tree from Australia. Be inspired by the beauty of nature and let your imagination run wild.

Come and explore methods of creating great visual interest through fabulous highly textured surfaces. We will form our 3D wet-felted vessels using a flat resist. Felting around a resist will produce a seamless, hollow shape. You will love the techniques/tips offered in this workshop and will find numerous ways of incorporating the textural surface embellishment methods in future projects, such as bags, hats, and wall-hangings.
