Felting Making Workshops








Last week students from Visual Arts and Design department were visited by Isabel Norwood who came to give a felt making workshop. Izzy showed us examples of her work and we made samples of some of the technques. Over the week, students began to design and produce a bag. There was a variety of different purposes and techniques used and the students were very impressed with what they learnt and in turn produced. Check out the pictures here.

Here are some of the students comments:
"I really enjoyed making the bag - something i'd consider doing as a career."

"Genuinely i think it was a very useful and fun workshop."

"I enjoyed being able to create our own designs quite freely."

" I had a great time learning something new so thank you Izzy!"
