Feltmaking Demonstration with Hana Horack

A fantastic return of the popular WLC FREE demonstration series after the summer break with this popular craft technique feltmaking. Felt is a non-woven textile that is made by shrinking or matting fibres together to make an impenetrable fabric, that can be cut without fraying or degrading the edges.Felt can be made from all wool fibres and other animal fibres such as alpaca, cashmere, angora and even buffalo. The basic treatment is either by wet-felting the fibres using a felting solution or dry-felting using felting needles or an embellisher. The two methods make a very different fabric and you have to decide what the final outcome is to be to decide which method to use either dry or wet. we are very lucky to have local artist Hana Horack demonstrating this technique along with selling some of her unique inspired pieces.
