Felt Flower Fascinator Hat or Brooch

First Time Wet- Felters welcome....we're making sophisticated, sculptural, felt flowers that are hand-finished with a collage of fiber, fabric petals/leaves, feathers and beads. Students choose their color palette and are guided by Tammy as they layer natural wool roving fibers and wet felt them into the base petals. 

Students are taught how to assemble the petals using felting needles and go on to add feathers, beads or buttons. The flower may be attached to a headband or hat elastic to be worn as a fascinator hat or attached to a pin for a removable accessory item. 

All base materials (wool, yarn, feathers, pin back and a small selection of beads) provided... students may bring a collection of beads (their own lampwork if they have them) just in case there is something extra you want to add.

The initial part of this class is a wet felting intro and we go on to hand sew the mixed media components into the piece. Please bring your magnifying glasses and fine point scissors to class.

No knitting, crocheting during this process.

All materials and equipment supplied.
