Relaxed Workshop: Felted Furry Friends – The Ark – 11.30am to 12.30pm

  • Workshop

Celebrate Cruinniú na nÓg at The Ark this year by discovering the ancient craft of felting with artist Gabi McGrath in this workshop designed for children aged 6-12 with additional sensory needs or access requirements.

In this relaxed hands-on workshop, artist Gabi Mc Grath will introduce children to the multi-sensory process of felting.  Children will explore the expressive possibilities of wool to create their own unique felted animal masks.  This workshop has been designed for children with additional sensory needs or access requirements who would benefit from a more supported, relaxed experience.

Gabi will lead the group through an exploration of wet felting techniques and textured tools that assist the feltmaking process.  Working with these ancient and somewhat magical processes, children will explore shape, colour, texture and form to create their own felted furry friend!
