SUMMARY:‘Ancient Fibre – New Journey’ Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by textile artist Emma Jackson who has developed a new body of work that celebrates the enduring qualities wool and her creative practice.  \n“Wool has been central to Emma’s practice. Recently she has worked directly with whole fleeces sourced from sheep farmers. This has brought her into a closer relationship with the raw materials and the people who produce it\, deepening her understanding of wool in its natural state. Working in this way led Emma to develop a greater appreciation for the intrinsic qualities of undyed wool – its subtle tones\, tactile richness and natural scent. In response\, she has developed a new body of work that celebrates the enduring qualities of this ancient fibre and highlights its natural beauty.”  \nExhibition Opening / Private View:    Thursday 30th April 2026      7pm – 9pm\nArtist Talk:     Wednesday 6th May 2026    6:30pm\nMore information and Artist Talk bookings at : www.nook-gallery.co.uk/pages/exhibitions\nExhibition Dates: 30th April – 10th May 2026\nLocation: nook gallery\, 25c Institute Road\, Kings Heath\, Birmingham\, B14 7EG

SUMMARY:Gefilzte Wandobjekte – Natur als Inspiration und Lehrmeisterin (Kurs mit Dagmar Binder)
DESCRIPTION:bei Wollknoll\, Oberrot\, Germany\n4.-8. Mai 2026\n(Voraussetzungen: Grundkenntnisse im Filzen\, Erfahrungen mit Schablonen können hilfreich sein) \nFilz ist ein wunderbares Material für eindrucksvolle\, dekorative Raumobjekte.\nIn der Natur finden wir eine Vielzahl von interessanten Formen und Strukturen\, die uns als Inspiration und Ausgangspunkt für eine Filzarbeit dienen können. Zudem lassen sich pfiffige architektonische Lösungen beobachten\, die zur Stabilität beitragen und die auch bei der Planung und Gestaltung eines Textilobjekts sehr hilfreich sein können.\nIn diesem Workshop gehen wir gemeinsam durch den gesamten Prozeß\, von der Idee bis zum fertigen Wandbehang\, und schauen uns verschiedene Wege an\, ein natürliches Modell in ein textiles Objekt zu verwandeln. Schritt für Schritt werden Sie Ihren Entwurf entwickeln\, geeignete Materialien auswählen\, die Form und Anordnung der Schablonen planen und schließlich Ihr ganz persönliches Kunstwerk filzen.\nIn einer Experimentierphase erkunden wir verschiedene Möglichkeiten für 3-dimensionale Filzformen\, die als Übung und Grundlage für eigene Projekte dienen können. Anschließend stehen uns 3 Tage für die Umsetzung individueller Arbeiten zur Verfügung.\nBasierend auf meiner langjährigen Erfahrung im skulpturalen Filzen berate und unterstütze ich Sie bei der Auswahl geeigneter Materialien und Techniken und begleite Sie durch den Filzprozess.\nWährend des Schaffens werden wir technische Details der unterschiedlichen Projekte genauer beleuchten\, Ideen und Lösungsmöglichkeiten für kritische Situationen zusammentragen. In der Gruppe können wir viel voneinander lernen\, verschiedene Werke im Werden beobachten und daraus sicher alle einen reichen Erfahrungsschatz mitnehmen.

SUMMARY:Wet Felted Bag/Bowl on a Ball Workshop with Needlessly Felted at Sam Dales Holmes Chapel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a creative\, hands-on workshop exploring the sculptural side of wet felting with Vicky Pulman of Needlessly Felted. \nUsing the resist method and working over a ball\, you’ll learn how to build up layers of fibre\, roll\, shape\, and coax them into a seamless felted bag – strong\, practical\, and completely unique. We’ll begin with a base of Perandale wool batts\, chosen for their softness\, bounce\, and ability to felt firmly into shape. \nFrom there\, you’ll explore a rich palette of fibres and textures to bring your design to life: Artisan and hand-dyed yarns for bold lines and expressive marks Bouclé yarns and neps for loops\, bumps\, and tactile detail Silks for lustrous highlights and movement Wool locks for organic textures and sculptural depth Your bag becomes more than functional – it’s a canvas of fibre\, layered and fused together through the rhythm of rolling\, water\, and soap. \nYou’ll discover how to handle different fibres\, how to build strength into your form\, and how to finish your bag so it’s both durable and beautiful. All materials and expert guidance are included. No felting experience needed – just curiosity and the joy of making.
