Using beautiful Merino wool fibres, Gill will guide you through the process of making a reversible, seamless bag using the resist method of felt-making. You’ll be able to choose your own colours and designs, and Gill will show you how to make pockets and handles, along with the potentials of adding fabrics and other fibres for some interesting finishing touches.
Felt making is an ancient craft with many modern-day applications. It’s incredibly forgiving and quite surprisingly versatile in what you can do with just the basic techniques and minimal materials. It does require a bit of repetitive arm and hand action over time, which may not suit some people. Some prior experience in felt making would be useful in this workshop as it is a more advanced technique; however, if you’re super keen and happy to jump right in, the projects can be modified for different skill and mobility levels.
What you'll get
By day's end, you will have learned the basics of felt bag making and be taking home a uniquely designed and hand-felted bag, personalised to your specifications. Notes will also be included, along with a list of wool suppliers so you can carry on your felt making at home.
 
What to bring
An old beach/bath towel
A plastic shopping bag to take the wet felt bag home in
A water-proof apron if you are worried about getting wet
A pair of sharp scissors
