Join artist and creative tutor, Abigail Lagden, to discover the delights of fabric sculpting.

This rather fun and messy craft involves working with fabrics and a fabric hardener to create pieces which are full of intriguing texture and depth.

Learn how to create a cute little highland cow for your home or garden using fabric sculpting techniques. You will learn how to build simple base structures for your project, before using fabric sculpting techniques to create your cow. Abigail will demonstrate her own colouring techniques so that you can really enhance the detail and textures using colours and shading. 

Your finished cow will stand approximately 10cm tall and after three weeks drying time will be suitable to be placed outdoors if desired.
