On Sunday, 26/1/201 8 of us attended a workshop especially designed for us by Bronwyn Hunter.

The members of the group have different level of experience and prior knowledge. As the idea of a workshop was Robin's and supported by Annette. it was decided to start from the beginning. With this in mind the other 5 members were OK with this idea. First we were shown some inspirational samples we would like to explore further. Then we commenced to create a two layer, two colour piece by weighing the wool tops and measuring a 25 cm square. After the felting and fulling process we could check back to the grid to determine shrinkage. It was a great way to spend Australia day and included flag topped Lammingtons courtesy of Bronwyn!
We were pleased that Bronwyn was wearing a beautiful felted top. This was a great talking point when discussing shaping felt during the felting process.
As well as basic wet felting we also did some nuno/laminated samples using one and two layers, as well as shapped pieces of fibre on fabric. Purchased prefelts were also explored. So a very busy and fun filled day.
