Exploring the layering of colour by mark making at each stage of the felt making process. Considering various proportion and sequences in the layering of different fibre, threads and fabric creating new surprises in the transformation of materials. Further structural changes can be developed at pre-felt stage suggesting ideas for composition and form.
