We have a few spaces left in our Full Day Felting Workshop with Rae Woolnough on this Sunday, 4th June 2023 from 10am – 4pm.

Introduction to Felting

For members and guests with little or no experience in felting. If you have some experience in felting you can come along and have some fun too.

This workshop will cover making felted balls, geodes, ropes/cords, and simple flowers that can easily be turned into jewellery or decorations of many kinds.

We will also make pieces of flat felt that can be used in many applications such as soft furnishings, (cushions, place mats, throws, etc.), book/tablet covers, jewellery, etc.

Techniques will include using resists and adding a multitude of surface designs and embellishments. Participants will learn how to join, cut, shape, and manipulate felt while gaining a comprehensive understanding of the felting process.
