Additional Information
This is a scheduled course which means it has a start and finish date. Lessons are issued every Tuesday. In addition to this there are hourly webinars every Monday starting at 7pm (BST) throughout the course for students to touch base with Moy and fellow students. All the webinars are recorded and available for students to listen back if they cannot attend.
This course demonstrates many examples of how to approach creating a still life in felt. As it is not a step-by-step project as such it is hoped students will develop their own style over the 6 weeks to create work that is unique to them.
