BREAKTHROUGH Felting Workshop

Had a great day on 20 May teaching feltmaking basics to 19 creative ladies from the BREAKTHROUGH Floral Designers Group at Halstead Village Hall in Kent. We covered flat felting, cords and 3D objects like beads, to give the members the basic skills to create their own felt pieces for incorporating into floral designs. I also introduced the idea of adding extra pattern and texture to felt using yarns and ribbons, which led to some creative and colourful results (as you can see from the flat felt pieces drying in the sun). Thanks to everyone involved for their input!
