This March at the Tassie Felters group we were luck enough to have a visit from Strattie who is one of our west coast members and the creater of the west coast fibre arts weekend. She showed us what upwolfing is all about. This is a felting technique created by dutch felter Irene Van Der Wolf which creates 3d texture on the surface of the felt.
A foam mat is used which has small holes in it, these are where the texture is created.
Strattie explaining to Kerrie about the process. And some flowers while they were still being shaped. We used upwolfing for the central stamens.
And for some light relief Jaqueline brought in her Ze-Bra she had made previously to help inspire us in thoughts of creating a piece for later in the year.
