Festive Robin & Wreath - Combined Fabric Sculpting Course

This is a combined course, containing two of my festive projects; Robin Decoration and Wreath. These are great projects for all levels of experience of fabric sculpting, including beginners.

These two workshops take you through the basics of fabric sculpting onto pre-moulded base shapes, including how to create texture using paper towels as well as how to work with different fabrics and adding embellishments. 

You will also learn my own technique for applying colour and shading to your creations to really enhance the textures and depth.

By purchasing these two workshops as a combined course, you will save 25% on the individual workshop prices. Plus as a special bonus, this combined course includes an extra timelapse video showing you how I incorporated a robin into a wreath!


Complete Project Kit

My Complete Festive Project Kit contains the materials you need to create the two projects shown. This includes fabric hardener, coloured pigments, gloves and a brush as well as all of the fabrics, embellishments and base shapes needed.

This Complete Festive Project Kit costs £40 offering you a saving compared to buying the individual kits needed.
