All you need is a handful of fibres, a couple of flakes of soap and a few drops of hot water. In this course participants will be able to experiment with the ancient craft of felt making. Various projects will be carried out in which, using different techniques, participants will be able to create a variety of pieces to take home. 

You will get familiar with the magical process of felt making, experimenting with colour mixing, creating 3D pieces, exploring Nuno felting or making jewellery in felt are some of the possibilities. This course is suitable for beginners and those who have already had a go at feltmaking already.
