SUMMARY:Felted Hebridean Fleece 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 Hebridean sheep\, grown here at Guardswell Farm. Hebridean sheep are small\, hardy Scottish sheep that produce beautiful dark fleece with a mix of brown\, black and sometimes hints of grey.  \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. \nWe are hosting this workshop in the beautiful Guardswell Glasshouse and will provide a delicious tea + coffee + cake break

SUMMARY:Felted Fleece Rug Workshop

Trish is a local fibre artist specializing in making hand felted rugs and decorative wall hangings using natural raw fleece.\nThis is a practical workshop\, come prepared for an upper body workout and wear your old clothes\, felting is splashy\, messy and physical. Then we’ll get stuck into felting using warm water and soap along with a few different tools like rolling pins and paint rollers etc. This is followed by some throwing and fulling which is when the real magic happens! You will be provided with an apron along with everything else needed to create your very own one of a kind felted rug/throw.
