Flower Garland Workshop (Short option) - Thursday 9th July 10-1.30pm
Learn how to wet felt beautiful flower heads to create your own perpetual floral decoration. Maybe you’ll immortalise your favourite blooms, or perhaps create out of this world botanical specimens?
During the workshop you’ll be taught how to lay fibres, combine colours and manipulate the wool to create petal shapes. Once you’ve laid out the fibres for all of your flower heads you’ll use soapy water and your own flower power to felt them into a shaped floral form. You will also have the option of rolling spiked stamens for additional features.
Once the flowers have been dried off you’ll connect them to the provided felt cord using your choice of needle felting, stitching or hot glueing. There will also be sheets of green felt to add your own leafy highlights.
Please note there is a longer option of this workshop where you will start the day learning to roll your own longer stem, create curly tendrils and wet felt a variety of leaves, before creating the floral features. There will be the time to produce a variety of different blooms. This will run on Sunday 14th June.
All materials and delicious snacks are included. This workshop will run with a minimum of 3 and maximum of 6 participants.
Workshops will be held in my fabulous new studio at •Nook• Gallery & Studios at 25 Institute Road in Kings Heath, Birmingham B14 7EG. We’re a minute’s walk from the High Street in this busy Birmingham suburb that features lots of independent retailers and cafes.
