WET FELTED VESSELS
Botanical wet felted vessel class - suitable for all
Service Description
WET FELTED VESSELS WITH Cecily Kate At The Oast Studio, Hartfield, East Sussex Learn how to make a beautiful seasonal botanical felted vessel with Cecily Kate. Using the time-honoured tradition of wet felting coupled with modern techniques, you'll make a beautifully round felted vessel embellished with needle felted botanical details - a piece you can proudly display as a work of art, use practically as a plant pot, or give as a unique gift for someone special. Cecily Kate will guide you every step of the way, supporting you as you choose your own colour palette from a vibrant spectrum of coloured wool and silk fibre, alongside a range of earth tones. Where our ancestors once felted around river rocks, you'll be using a sturdy modern inflatable ball as your 3D form, or 'resist', along with a few other contemporary aids to help the process along. These techniques are very easily replicated at home, so once you know how, you can carry on experimenting with colour combinations and different designs - the sky's the limit with these free-style techniques. Please note: wet felting is great fun and does involve soapy bubbles, water and a bit of elbow grease, so come prepared to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. THE DETAILS: Time: 9:30am–1:30pm Suitable for: All Class size: 8–10 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How to layer and wrap the wool and blend colour layers of fibre in reverse; how to use various water temperatures and natural soap to help felt the fibres; and how to needle felt embellishments. No experience needed. WHAT YOU'LL MAKE: A beautifully round felted vessel embellished with needle felted botanical details — ready to display as a piece of art, use as a plant pot, or give as a special handmade gift. WHAT'S INCLUDED: All materials, plus teas, coffees and delicious homemade cakes from The Oast Bakery to keep you going. WHAT TO BRING: Just yourself - everything is provided. As there's water and soap involved, you may like to wear clothes you don't mind getting damp, or bring an apron and a small towel. WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY: "Wow, what a fantastic session! This is a hidden gem of a place for anyone who loves crafting. Cecily Kate is a patient and talented tutor, and the felting class was just brilliant. I'm hooked!" ACCESSIBILITY: Please note that most classes are held upstairs. If you have any accessibility needs, do let us know or check with us before booking at info@oaststudio.co.uk.
