As a part of our Re-Fashioned Textile Fest, Nanette Madan will be hosting a taster session of making Felted Geodes.
You will create your own geode from wool roving, including local Herdwick. Using only your hands, soap and water you can create unique geodes of all sizes.
Nanette Madan is one of the artists in residence at Florence Arts Centre. Her practice focuses on community art workshops for social prescribing, as well as creating multi-media work to exhibit, often with an environmental theme. She has a research background in polar ecology and is interested in the human response to the natural environment. Her multi-cultural upbringing is a constant source of inspiration for her artwork.
This session is suitable for beginners aged 12+ with reasonable mobility. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Our centre is wheelchair accessible with parking on site, ramped access to the studio door and level throughout. We have a wheelchair-accessible toilet.
