This course will cover:
How to make a series of bags and small cases:
Week 1 – animal-inspired phone / spectacles / pencil case with closures and flaps made from felt.
Week 2 – a bag with adjustable shoulder straps / handles, internal pockets and a magnetic clasp.
Week 3 – a backpack with internal pockets and your choice of felt or canvas adjustable straps.
We will cover a variety of felting techniques including how to shape the bottom of your bag so it stands up when placed on a table, how to blend colours, how to create felted tabs and loops, how to make large bags stronger without making them heavier, how to add pockets and where to place them.
This course is delivered online and you can complete each tutorial at your own pace and time to suit you. The PDF tutorials will be yours to keep and refer to after the course. The forum pages and tutor support will be available for 6 weeks from the course start date in case you need to catch up or if you would like to make more bags, perhaps combining the techniques from different weeks into a new bag design of your own.
