Course Structure
Lesson 1
Lesson 1 will concentrate on gathering reference materials (to work from in Lesson 2 onwards), taking photos, visual diaries, sketch and scrap books. The fundamentals of any good artwork is preparation, consideration and forward planning.
Lessons 2-4
Lessons 2-4 cover various stages of creating a landscape concentrating on specific areas starting from the top and working down.
Lessons 5-6
Lessons 5 and 6 focus on embellishment in the way of needle felting, machine and hand stitch. Each of the processes are shown in both video, illustrated instructions as well as downloadable pdf instructions for each lesson.
This course demonstrates many examples of how to approach creating landscapes in felt. As it is not a step-by-step project as such it is hoped students will develop their own style over the 6 weeks to create work that is unique to them.
