SUMMARY:FELT CONNECTED: Bringing Fibre & People Together
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of 2d and 3D fibre art by members of the International Feltmakers Association \nPlans are underway for our first ever Region 8 Members Exhibition to be held in Harding House Gallery on Steep Hill in Lincoln LN2 1LT from the 14th to the 29th March. We are excited to have 17 members signed up which will provide us with a wonderful cross section of work in a wide variety of techniques and styles. Our aim is three fold (1) to introduce visitors to our organisation and hopefully attract new members (2) to demonstrate the incredible versatility of fibre (3) to showcase the terrific creativity that we have within our region.\nThese images show just a few examples of the many pieces of work that will be on display.\nThe exhibition will run for two weeks from 14th – 29th March 2026 with a “meet the artists” session from 1pm – 3pm on Saturday 14th.

SUMMARY:Wet Felting: From Discovery to Confidence. A 4-Week Creative Course
DESCRIPTION:Discover the art of wet felting in this immersive four-week course\, designed to take you from first exploration of fibre to confidently creating a beautiful wearable piece. Working in a small\, supportive group\, you’ll learn core wet felting techniques while completing a finished item each week. \nLed by fibre artist Vicky Pulman of Needlessly Felted\, the course gently builds skills and confidence\, combining technical learning with creative freedom. You’ll explore how wool behaves\, how to shape and control felt\, and how to use colour\, texture\, and composition to create both artwork and wearables. \nCourse Dates (Wednesdays) \n– 18th February\n– 25th February\n– 4th March\n– 11th March \n– 4-hour sessions\n– Small group – max 6.\n– £235 for all 4 weeks (all materials included)\n– The Boat House\, Congleton \, Cheshire (Unfortunately this is not an accessible venue due to stairs)\n– Each session runs for 4 hours – 10-2pm. \nOver the four weeks\, you will create: \n– A textured felted sample panel or wall hanging\n– A sculptural felted bowl or vessel\n– A felted landscape artwork inspired by nature\n– A luxurious wet felted snood \nThe course covers fibre selection\, layout and layering\, resist techniques\, shrinkage control\, surface design\, and finishing – giving you a solid foundation in wet felting and the confidence to continue independently. \nAll materials and equipment are provided\, and no previous experience is required. The course is suitable for complete beginners as well as those looking to deepen their felting practice or experiment with a vast array of fibres. \nBy the end of the course\, you’ll leave with four completed pieces\, a strong understanding of wet felting techniques\, and the confidence to continue your felting journey independently.

SUMMARY:Wet Felted Pendant with Karen Lane
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop we will be creating a statement pendant\, inspired by the work of Aniko Boros\, using a combination of Superfine Merino and Merino prefelt. Karen will talk you through the different techniques we will be using\, showing several samples of different designs. Some will utilise resists and be better suited to experienced feltmakers while others will be suitable for any ability. All designs incorporate an adjustable cord and a “dangle” and\, for those who would like to\, can be further embellished using beads or stitch.\nWe have Merino prefelt in light grey and mustard if you would like to purchase some on the day\, otherwise bring your choice of prefelt colour with you. A quarter of a metre will be more than enough and you will need a small amount of Superfine fibre to use with it.\nTea and coffee provided but please bring a packed lunch as there isn’t a shop in the village.\nContact Pat or Karen if you need any more details.

SUMMARY:FACES OF EXTINCTION with GLADYS PAULUS  9-day workshop from March 8 to 16\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:This master class focuses on the creaon of a detailed animal mask which will  contribute to on-line exhibition Faces of Extinction. This project aims to help raise awareness of the huge challenges to wildlife across the world\, and of imminent natural network collapse.\nToday wildlife accounts for only 3 percent of earth’s land animals; human beings\, our livestock\, and our pets take up the remaining 97 percent of the biomass. This is due both to the explosion of industrial agriculture and to a hollowing out of wildlife itself\, which has decreased in abundance by as much as 50 percent since 1970. This cull is from both direct hunting and global-scale habitat destrucon: almost half of the earth’s land has been converted to farmland (source: PeterBrannen\,  The Ends of the World ).\nFaces of Extinction is an international community art project & on-line exhibition that aims to draw attention to the impact of human activity on ecosystems and habitats\, and the increased rate of species loss that is one of the results. Faces of  Extinction occupies a dedicated web page\, Instagram site and Facebook page\, and all images share a disnct set of guidelines to encourage visual unity.\nAll animals chosen have to be picked from the IUCN Red List for Threatened Species ( hps://www.iucnredlist.org/ ) and all student parcipants will be asked to do some research on their chosen animal\, as well as prepare a sign containing some basic wrien facts (more informaon on this is provided in the Student Materials List).

SUMMARY:TOWARDS AN ANIMAL MASK by GLADYS PAULUS
DESCRIPTION:This 4-day preparatory workshop has been developed in response to student requests and is highly recommended for those wishing to try out colour\, eye types\, hair\, fur\, plumage\, surface techniques and other special effects in preparation for making a full animal mask.\nWhether you are about to embark on your first animal mask\, or you have wet felted a mask with me before\, this workshop is an ideal opportunity to research specific aspects of your chosen animal\, develop appropriate technical responses\,  and to practise them on small samples before working on the mask itself. This eliminates some risk factors and will save you me later on\, and will give you a beer understanding of the final outcome you are trying to achieve.\nAlthough you will be pursuing your personal line of inquiry\, you will benefit greatly from being exposed to your student cohort’s work\, and from the experimentation in the room around you. Throughout the workshop\, learning is supported through 1-to-1 consultations\, practical group demonstrations and illustrated explanations of a wide range of felt making techniques and approaches.

SUMMARY:Felted Fleece Rug Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Trish O’Meara of Wormit Woolies will lead you through the ancient craft of wet felting to create your very own one of a kind felted fleece rug from the fleece of a living Jacob sheep grown here at Burmieston Farm. Jacob sheep are a domestic breed combining two characteristics\, spotted or piebald fleece and horns\, often as many as 4. For centuries\, they were kept as lawn ornaments for wealthy landowners. In modern times they are reared for wool\, meat and skins.\nWet felting is the oldest form of textile making and has been recognized as a heritage craft in the UK since the 1100’s. It has a rich history in Scotland with something known as ‘Waulking”. Waulking\, also known as fulling\, is a traditional Scottish process of soaking the fabric in water\, followed by rhythmic beating and kneading\, typically accompanied by singing Gaelic songs. This process makes the fabric denser and more durable.\nThis is a practical workshop but you’ll also get loads of theory along the way. Come prepared for an upper body workout and wear comfortable clothes and appropriate footwear as felting can be physically demanding with part of the process taking place outside. You will be provided with a plastic apron along with everything else needed to create your very own one of a kind felted fleece rug.\nHot and cold drinks plus a delicious homemade lunch is included. If travelling from afar there are on site accommodations available. Please email hello@burmieston.co.uk to register.
