You will also be shown how to use surface colours and textures using different types of fibres and threads, raw fleece etc. to give your 3D form your personal touch.At the end of your 3D feltmaking course, you will go home with your own unique 3D creation and with ideas and inspiration to incorporate into your next piece of felt.
