Spend 5 hours learning the basics of wet-felting. You will be introduced to different types of fibres, some felting history, how to lay out a sheet of fibre, make a large solidly felted bead and learn about pre-felt. This workshop is a great primer to get you started and inspired. You will also have the chance to see many completed samples of what is possible with felting.

Felting has been used as therapeutic art exercise in many European countries – many motions are necessary to create felt – handling delicate pieces of natural sheep wool, laying it down delicately, beginning the felting process by sprinkling it with water, gently massaging it and increasing the handling of it until you use all your strength to fully finish the felt.

This is a perfect parent and child workshop (minimum age 6).

Skills required: The ability to move your hands in a circular motion and to pinch your fingers.

Please bring: it’s always a good idea to bring a notepad and pen.
