20th - 23rd January 2020

Create pleated scarves and wraps, a stunning accessory that is both sumptuous and easy to wear with drama and style. Learn how to add structure and shape to fine felted fabric by using hand pleating and resist stitch techniques to manipulate the felted surface.

Explore the rich textural qualities offered by the nuno felt technique, where wool fibres are worked onto fine fabrics, to create a new fabric. This method of feltmaking will be explored through sampling a variety of techniques and processes. Develop your ideas further with unusual fibre blends and fabrics that will enhance texture and shape in the design. You will use these skills to create a unique accessory, choosing from scarves, wraps and collars.
