Do you love colour, pattern and texture? Do you enjoy working with your hands?
Join us for a fun, hands-on day of felt-making! This ancient craft combines wool fibres with heat, moisture and friction to create a durable, matted fabric with endless modern applications—from wearables and accessories to home décor and fine art.
In this class you will learn:
  • The basic techniques of the felt-making process
  • Different laying out methods to shape and design your felt
  • How to incorporate colour, pattern and texture into your creations
  • Finishing techniques for durable and long-lasting felt
  • Tips, tricks and sourcing materials for future projects
Felt-making is an incredibly forgiving medium and people are often surprised at what they can achieve, especially those who consider themselves ‘uncreative’. There are no ‘mistakes’ and each piece just shows you another iteration of this amazing material. It’s a voyage of discovery where you can go at your leisure and follow your own inclinations.
By the end of the workshop, you will take home:
  • A flat felt piece (perfect for a table mat or a stitched pouch)
  • A small seamless pod/vessel
  • Step-by-step notes and resources for continued exploration


What to bring
An old towel, scissors and a waterproof/plastic bag to take your wet felt and towel home.
Optional: apron if you are worried about getting water on your clothes.
Optional: old scarves/clothes in muslin or silk to incorporate into your design
