an ocean, a cave, a storm.

RELAX, UNWIND & CREATE
In this relaxed workshop you will be taught the wet felting method to create your own felt poppy landscape, as pictured. It's perfect for beginners! Your poppy picture will turn out a little different to the one pictured as the process is such that every piece is unique and impossible to recreate exactly the same.
Join Northlight studio artist Lydia Rain for a relaxing and immersive morning creating stunning mixed media paintings.
Lydia will show you how to elevate your artwork using the simple and versatile technique of image transfer to add images to your paintings.
Image transfer differs from collage because the paper is removed leaving the image as a thin layer of pigment. This can create beautiful translucent effects ideal for layering, without the hard edges found in collage.
