Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Using step-by-step photographs which show how to magically transform wool fibres into fabric, the authors present a series of easy-to-follow projects which range from simple panels to more adventurous shaped pieces. They explain how different colours of wool can be mixed to achieve a painterly effect and how silks and yarns can be incorporated to create amazing textures.This book is brimming with ideas and packed with inspiration Felt is a joy to work with - it is hard-wearing, practical, wonderfully soft to touch and a pleasure to work with; once you have learnt the basic techniques and become familiar with the material, you can go on to create your own unique designs.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Shirley Ascher studied Art and Design at St. Albans School of Art. Jane Bateman's background is in journalism, and she spent a number of years designing handmade cards for her local tourist information office and the National Trust. They first started making felt together in 2001 after being inspired by a visit to the Chelsea Crafts Fair in London. Feltmaking soon became their passion, and a year later they were invited to display their work at a flower and craft festival in St. Albans Cathedral. Since then, they have written a number of articles for leading craft magazines and give regular feltmaking demonstrations throughout the UK.
