CoURSE Description
Create a vibrant, textured artwork with soft merino wool.
The Experience
Dive into the tactile and colourful world of wet felting! Led by our experienced tutor Karen Mallinson, this exciting craft course invites you to transform loose wool fibres into a stunning, permanent piece of felted art.
The best part? You don’t have to be “artistic” to succeed.
Under Karen’s magical supervision, your picture will come together layer by layer. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned crafter, you’ll find the process incredibly therapeutic and rewarding.
What You Will Create
Using Karen’s huge selection of vibrant coloured wools, you will build up a textured picture (approximately just over A4 size). You can choose a theme that speaks to you:
A Dramatic Seascape:
Capture the movement of the waves and the spray of the ocean.
A Wildflower Meadow:
Create a burst of botanical colour and floral texture.
You’ll work to your own taste and colour scheme, ensuring your finished artwork is perfectly suited to your home.
FAQs
Q: What should I wear?
A: Just comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dusty, and closed-toe shoes (nothing open like sandals or flip-flops). Avoid loose sleeves if possible, but we have elastic bands if needed.
Q: What's included in the course price?
A: Everything you need – all glass, tools, kiln firing, safety equipment, tea and coffee throughout the day, and biscuits. You just need to bring yourself! The only extra would be if you want to make additional pieces beyond what’s included in the course.
Q: Do I take my finished pieces home the same day?
For fusing courses, no – your pieces need to go in the kiln, so you can collect them when they’re ready (usually a week or so later) or we can post them to you but we really don’t recommend postage because glass is easily broken in the post. You can choose postage at your own risk, we charge a minimum of £8 (depending on the size of the piece) to cover postage cost & packaging.
For stained glass, copper foiling and other non-fusing courses, yes – you take them home at the end of the course.
Q: What if I don't finish my piece?
A: Don’t worry, we build in enough time for everyone to complete their projects. Jennifer keeps an eye on everyone’s progress. If you’re a bit slower, that’s fine – we’d rather you do it properly than rush.
Q: Is lunch provided?
A: We provide tea, coffee, and biscuits throughout the day, but not lunch. You’re welcome to bring sandwiches to eat in our comfy break area or outside if the weather’s nice, or there are plenty of nice pubs & cafes approx 1 mile away in the centre of Frodsham.
Q: How do I find you?
A: We’re pretty easy to find – just off the main road between Frodsham and Kingsley. We’re upstairs in the Barn at Bradley Farm Stables (look out for the horses 🙂 )
