“Saltburn Seascape” North Yorkshire.

This seascape was inspired by our many visits to Saltburn beach in North Yorkshire.

While the family goes bodyboarding in the sea, I take a wonder along the beach, taking in the tranquil atmosphere. It’s a moment of solitude, allowing me to relax and be present in the moment. I listen to the soothing sound of the waves, feel the cool water as I paddle in the shallows, and search for sea glass along the shoreline. Though I’ve never found any yet, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the search!

The Process

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.
