Felting Workshop

As a part of their Sunday Workshops, Stamford Diversity CIC are hosting a Felting workshop at 3pm - 4:30pm on 14 May 2023.

Tickets to the workshop run by Eve Marshall cost £18.50.

Eve said: "I have been working creatively with wool for over 16 years. I layer wool, silk and other fibres to create a background for my felted art. 30+ layers of colour and texture go into each piece. Once wet felted, I like to see how much depth and realism I can achieve with my single felting needle.

"My art is inspired by my wanders around the countryside and my wacky brain. Most of my artwork is based on the flora and fauna of Lincolnshire. I spend a lot of time wandering around Barnsdale Gardens in Rutland and creating work inspired by the flowers growing there.

"I enjoy teaching others the magic of felting through short courses based in this area and beyond."
