Natasha Smart has been wet felting for over fifteen years and specializes in the felting on a ball resist technique. She runs regular wet felting workshops from her studio in Devon, and teaches online courses.
I would say that any beginner could pick up this book and progress
through it easily, and try most of the projects. There is also
enough here for an intermediate to more experienced feltmaker to
learn, especially if you have not tried the ‘Felt on a Ball’
technique. Anyone could benefit from Natasha’s ideas on surface
textures and decoration, and on how to use a good colour palette in
their work. It is certainly a book which I will be dipping in and
out of for ideas and inspiration.
*Felt Matters*
This colourful and informative book is a complete guide to the wet
felt-making process, including explaining what the process is,
materials and equipment required, a clear how-to guide with lots of
handy tips and instructions for nine projects – and it’s great fun
and a good workout, too!
*The Quilter*
This is a comprehensive book. Whether one is a beginner or an
experienced felt maker, my guess is that there is something new foe
everyone to learn or take inspiration from.
*Australian Felt Magazine*
The importance of top-notch photography as a teaching aid has been
recognised and all the step-by-step instructions are visually
illustrated, making this book ideal for the complete beginner to
gain confidence and grow, as well as inspiring the more experienced
wet-felter to experiment further with new designs, different
techniques, unexplored tools, novel materials and innovative
embellishment materials.
*The Journal of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers.*
If you can only buy one felting book, this should be at the top of
your list.
*Fall 2023 Shuttle Spindle & Dyepot*
