Class Description:
This is your opportunity to create a truly unique and customized felted landscape art piece. You select one of your own photos and send it to Lynn before class. She will sketch the photo onto a piece of 9 x 12 wool. It could be a photo meaningful to you or perhaps it’s a trip that holds wonderful memories for a friend or family member. What a unique gift it would make.
Your photo could be anything from crashing ocean waves to a peaceful mountain sunset vista to a gently rolling pasture with cows grazing near a barn.
Once Lynn has your photo, you will let her know the color scheme you’d like incorporated into your finished. piece. She will select the wool yarns, silks and other embellishment fibers to recreate your photo in wool.
This is an intermediate felting class, participants should have a basic understanding of felting and some experience. It’s not necessary to have advanced skills.
Lynn will assist you through each step of the process offering individual help including use of the silk and embellishment fibers to make your piece pop. You’ll also receive written instructions for creating wool landscapes.
Participants should bring their own tools and felting pads. If you do not have these items, let Lynn know at the time of registration. Arrangements will be made for the use of these items.
