On this course you will learn the fascinating art of felt making to create your own stunning pieces of art or craft for the home. Come and learn a new skill and add to your portfolio.

Felt is the oldest fabric known to man. Highly sophisticated felted artefacts were found preserved in permafrost in a tomb in Siberia, dated to 600BC. In the process of felt making, wool fibres shrink and come together to form a dense mat when subjected to heat, friction and a change of alkalinity - hot water, soap and lots of rubbing and rolling! On this course you will learn flat felting, seamless felting (ideal for making doorstops and cushions), 3D felting (ideal for making vessels and bowls), honeycomb felting (ideal for adding texture that could be used to make your own lampshade, cushion or wall art).

This course is ideal for beginners.
