With all the right colors in your roving kit we will build the scene one step at a time, with particular attention to the tonal layers of color that create depth and highlight in the water. We will work the composition together and complete the piece during class. You can complete the project in class or continue at home. Each student receives a kit with a range of dyed wool roving in the project palette, felting needles, acrylic felt pinned to your own foam block worksurface plus handouts outlining steps and inspiration images. All materials are provided with the materials fee, due in class. These materials are yours to take home to pursue more studio projects. Beginners are welcome in this workshop. You will be introduced to each fiber and technique, and every piece is unique to the maker, regardless of guidance or experience.
