Our observation of Wendy at Beautiful Silks is that she guides her students toward finding their own creativity and path toward their inner maker. Her workshops are about much more than making felt, they are about tapping into each person's creative energies.

OR now that four are offered, yuou can do the lot for $450.00 - Bring your own extra materials or you can view our huge range of supplies and purchase them on the day.

Workshops at Beautiful Silks in 2010:

Friday 12 February, Large Wall Art:

Create a beautiful piece of wall art for your home. Join Wendy on a creative journey culminating in a fabulous piece of felt art for your wall. You will use merino wool tops, a variety of fibres and fabrics and learn lots of different textural techniques in your creation. You don’t have to be “artistic” - Wendy guarantees you will make an inspirational piece! link to requirements list here

Saturday 13 February, Vessels:

Use a template to create 3D sculptural forms in this wonder filled workshop. Learn sculptural techniques to make pods, bowls, formed and sculptural shapes. Learn how to make really hard felt that will hold its shape. This technique will help you with other projects that require hard shaped 3D felt.Link to requirements list here  

Sunday 14th February, Nuno Wrap: 'White on White'

Felting onto fabric opens up all sorts of wonderful opportunities for making your own designer fabrics. Join Wendy on a voyage of nuno felt discovery making a large wrap or hanging using silk fabric as a base. A texture feast for explorations of surface.  And for those who like functon as well as form, you can make this beautiful piece in one day, use it as a wrap or a curtain, or if you are versatile, both. An added bonus is that Kelly Goodwin will demonstrate how the addition of dye onto your felt reveals variation in the surface which results from varied fibre dye takeup. Samples of this will be available for you to view on the day, you can decide if you'd like to dye your work later at home, or keep it white on white. Link to requirements list here
