Malham Cove painting is an original wool painting by West Yorkshire felt artist Janine Jacques.
We walked from Malham village to Malham Cove through the meadow land that is the setting for Malham Cove. The soft sound of the stream gently trickled alongside us, creating a soothing backdrop as Malham Cove came into view.
Once at Malham Cove, we climbed the steps to the top, where we saw this stunning view of the countryside and distant fields. Take a breath here to admire the view and catch your breath after the climb. It’s also the perfect spot for a picnic, allowing you to linger and enjoy the view for longer.
From the top of Malham Cove, we ventured across the huge cracked stones and descended to Janet’s Foss waterfall. After a little paddle to cool down and another rest we walked back to the village for tea and cake. It’s a lovely family day out with the kids.
The original artwork measures approximately 20cm (H) x 20cm (W).
The artwork is framed with acid free double thickness mount board in a white wooden frame with museum quality glass (80% anti reflective).
Framed size 45cm (w) x 44.5cm (h)

Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I use merino wool in lots of different colours (as you would tubes of paint) and lay out the loose fibres of different coloured wool onto my base (as you would paint on canvas).
Once finished the next stage is to make these loose fibres of wool stick together using the ‘wet felting’ technique to make the wool painting into a piece of felt. You do this by adding hot soapy water and friction. The hot water opens up the wools scales and the friction (rubbing/rolling) binds them together. During this process the wool shrinks by about 15-20% and you end up with one piece of felt material.
Once the felted picture is dry I needle felt into the piece to sharpen some of the details.
The final felt art is attached to a piece of acid free mount board and mounted as seen then posted out ready for you to take to a framer to choose the frame.
