Christmas Activities
We’re going to immerse ourselves in a day of feltmaking fun. Using colourful merino and silk fibres, and yarns, we’re going to learn the basics of a few different felt-making techniques and turn those fibres into gorgeous Christmas tree baubles, balls, small gifts, and a miniature felt tree.
Gill will introduce you to the ‘resist’ method of felt making, and you will be guided to make and decorate your miniature Christmas tree. Lovely as a table or shelf ornament. Felt making is an ancient craft with many modern-day applications. It’s incredibly forgiving and quite surprisingly versatile in what you can make, 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.

What you'll get
By day's end, you will have learned how to make and decorate felt balls, felt-covered soaps, pin cushions, and a Christmas tree. You will have a selection of these to take home, notes, and a list of suppliers to continue your Christmas gift and decoration making at home.
 
What to bring
An old beach or bath towel
A plastic shopping bag (for taking the wet felt hat home)
A waterproof apron (if concerned about getting wet)
A pair of sharp scissors (optional but useful)
