Wed 9 Dec, 5-7 PM

Welcome to a relaxing and creative felting workshop! During the evening, you will learn the basics of both wet felting and needle felting.

We will begin with an introductory project by felting wool around a bar of soap. A felted soap is both a practical and beautiful everyday item.

As a follow-up project, you can either create a stress ball using a ready-made wool ball base or make your own wool mascot from scratch through needle felting. You are free to use your imagination and create a unique piece that reflects your own style.

During the workshop, you will also learn how needle felting can be used to repair and mend wool garments. Feel free to bring along worn or damaged wool socks or another wool item and try out felting repair techniques in practice.

No previous experience is required, and the workshop is suitable for participants of all skill levels.

The workshop is non-stop and open to everyone free of charge.

Instructor: Maria Junes
