In this beginners class you will see lots of examples before designing your own wall hanging. Learn all about this historic and natural process from Catherine who learnt to felt in Finland at an arts academy where she studied over 20 years ago. She will teach you about fibres and how to use them. Complete a test sample before embarking on your wall hanging.

Felting occurs when natural fibres such as wool are exposed to water and friction. The fibres have scaled which open up during the felting process, closing down to form a textile material. Felting is the oldest form of creating a fabric - a totally natural process with endless possibilities for creative projects.

You will be encouraged to come up with your own ideas and lead your own projects, with Catherine on hand to talk through process, risks and also a gentle push to challenge yourself. Any unfinished work each week can be completed easily at home. Choose form over 50 shades of wool fibres to compose your design then learn how to felt together. See her collection of hemp, linen, silks, possum, yak fibre....Catherine will show you how to finish your work to a professional standard, drying and mounting your A4 size work onto a painted branch, embellish with wool tassels if you prefer.

Suitable age 11 upwards supervised.

Customer review...

Five stars for this shop! I had an idea to make linocut camp t-shirts this summer but wasn’t sure where to start. Catherine answered a ton of my questions and made sure I had everything I needed - including ink for printing on fabric. The kit arrived within a week and everything was beautifully packaged, the materials are great & the instructions were very helpful. I would highly recommend this shop for anyone who wants to give this medium a try!
