Topics covered in this tutorial include:

 

• Understanding the ways fibres behave

• Colour theory basics

• Building up colour through the layers

• Smooth blending of colours across the surface

• Utilising the intrinsic characteristics of wool fibres for successful colour blending

• Pitfalls to be aware of

• Choosing fibres

• Two sample exercises for practice including diagrams

 

This tutorial works especially well paired with Felting Foundations - Fibre fundamentals: Back to basics (understanding wool). 

 

But in fact, all of the tutorials being developed in this growing series work are designed to complement each other, and to form the foundational building blocks for your very own felt making library. 

 

MATERIALS NEEDED

​

An assumption is made you already have all the felt making equipment and materials you will need for this tutorial. 

​

• Your usual felt making equipment

• Your usual wool fibres in multiple colours

• Your usual wool fibres in both black and white

• Colour wheel (available in art supply stores and online)

 

THIS TUTORIAL IS SUITABLE FOR

 

• Any beginner felt maker wishing to learn how to transition colours smoothly

• Any intermediate-advanced felt maker wishing to improve their colour transitions

• Any of my students preparing for a mask making masterclass  or other on-location workshop

 

Please note that this workshop is NOT suitable for complete beginners to felt making. Some basic wet felting knowledge is assumed.

 

MORE ABOUT FELTING FOUNDATIONS TUTORIALS

 

The thinking behind these tutorials is that (unlike my scheduled online courses) they are non-project based, and instead focus on developing you overall skills set and understanding of wool and felt making. Felting Foundations tutorials are designed to form the foundational building blocks of your very own personalised felt making library, and can be watched and worked through in your own time, any time. The contents are just as detailed as my other courses and workshops, but will be immediately accessible upon registering, rather than drip fed to you. Access is permanent, so you can always refer back to the materials when you need to!

 

Felting Foundation tutorials can be taken on their own, or in co-junction with any of my other online and on location workshops and courses. They are especially helpful for those preparing for any of my mask making master classes.

 

I firmly believe that innovation is important to keep felt making alive and relevant in the 21st century, and it is my hope that these tutorials will give you the foundational knowledge, techniques and mastery to free you to move forward into experimentation and innovation with confidence.  Because after all, once we have mastered the rules, we know how to break them!
