Wet felted vessels

Artwork size: Approximately 17cm x 23cm

Artwork medium: Textile

I attended a needle felting workshop last year and have been learning how to wet felt. I have worked previously as a porcelain ceramicist. I wanted to make the vessels as fragile as possible with as few layers of felt, yet for the vessel to still hold its shape. I exhibited last year with a regional group of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) where I am a member. This connection with my colleagues helped me to develop professional networks when I relocated to the UK.
