Eco printed nuno felt wrap workshop with Nicola Brown

An intimate weekend workshop exploring two complimentary creative techniques

Join one other participant for this intimate two day workshop and discover on day one how you can nuno felt in your tumble dryer without any of the usual rubbing and rolling. This technique is wonderful for those of us who might not be able to tackle larger flat felt projects due to health issues or time constraints; it's the ideal way to felt scarves, wraps, table runners and wall hangings.


On day two explore with Nicola the fascinating and exciting art of printing on protein based fabric using natural materials from the hedgerow, kitchen and garden. Each participant will print their wrap from day one plus a selection of silk and wool samples finishing the weekend with a good working knowledge of how to confidently repeat both processes at home.
