Felt Pot Workshop
A relaxing and hands-on wet felting workshop where you'll create your own unique felt pot using colourful wool fibres and a resist technique.
Guided by experienced feltmaker Rachel Morley, you'll learn the fundamentals of wet felting, fibre handling and vessel construction in a supportive small-group environment.
Suitable for beginners and improvers alike, you'll leave with a beautiful handmade felt pot and the confidence to continue felting at home.
THE WORKSHOP
During the session you will be guided through the felting process, the handling of the wool fibres, and use of a resist to create your own unique 3D bowl.
Attendance numbers are kept small to enable the tutor to give you the one-on-one time and attention to explore your creativity, so by the end of your session, you will not only have learnt a new skill but have completed your handmade vessel.
All tools and materials are included. Aprons will be provided but feel free to bring your own if you prefer.
