Feltmaking Workshops
I'm organizing some new feltmaking workshops for 2010!
Beginner's Feltmaking 1-day workshop - begin at the beginning!
Sat 24th April 2010 at The Art Studio, Higher Trevethan, Cornwall, TR16 5HJ
Sat 1st May 2010 at Luxulyan Village Hall, Cornwall, PL30 5QA
10.30am to 4.pm
Cost £20 plus a small charge for wools used*
On the Basic Feltmaking 1-day workshop you will make a flat piece of colourful felt which can be framed as a picture, made into a wall hanging or sewn into a cushion cover. You start off by learning about wool, where it comes from and some essential terms, before moving quickly on to the technique of wet felting - starting with a demonstration and then hands-on practice. After laying out, soaking, soaping and rolling your wool you will end up with your own piece of hand made felt fabric.
*"Wools used".. this usually comes to between £3 and £5 - it depends on how many colours you want! We use soft merino wools and you can choose from 22 fabulous colours
Seamless Shapes 1-day workshop - make a felt bag or tea cosy
Sun 25th April 2010 at 45, St Blazey Gate, Cornwall, PL24 2SL
10.30am to 4.pm
Cost £25 plus a small charge for wools used*

Nuno Scarves 1-day workshop - introducing the nuno technique
Sat 3rd April 2010 at The Art Studio, Higher Trevethan, Cornwall, TR16 5HJ
Sun 4th April 2010 at The Cottage, Roseney Farm, near Luxulyan, Cornwall, PL30 5DL
10.30am to 4.pm
Cost £25 plus a small charge for wools used*
On this workshop you can make a fine floaty summer scarf or something a bit warmer for winter. The nuno technique uses a piece of very thin net material felted in to the wool so that the resulting fabric is fine and hangs like cloth but is strong and flexible. Again, this is an essential workshop if you want to go on to make felt clothing.email here to book a place
Felt Hats 1-day workshop - chic, stylish, cosy or just mad felt hats!
Sun 2nd May 2010 at 45, St Blazey Gate, Cornwall, PL24 2SL
10.30am to 4.pm

You've seen my hats, now you can learn to make one too! You will learn to use a form to make your felt curve seamlessly into a 3 dimensional shape to fit your head. With a choice of 22 beautiful colours you can make the hat you always dreamed of but could never find in the shops! This workshop is suitable for people who have done the Basic Feltmaking workshop or have some previous experience in wet felting.email here to book a place
