Workshops

Enrich your wardrobe and your life by learning one of the world’s oldest fabric techniques with a bold and colourful new twist.

Meet with old friends or make new ones while we explore together a blend of creativity and skills that you can learn in an afternoon, yet take a lifetime to master.

Notan and Prefelt shapes

Create clear, precise, repeating patterns on felt for anything from cushion covers to yardage for clothing.

View some examples of this work. 

Pieced and Striped Fabric

Join different fabrics and gather fabric with strips of fleece to create light, softly ruched fabric for unique scarves, wraps and clothing.

Here are some examples of pieced and striped fabric.

Surface Texture and Resists

Use different fabrics and inclusions to create texture, resists to create hollows and stitches to create folds for hats, handbags, or vases. Add texture to scarves, wraps, collars and cuffs or whole garments.

Here are some examples of surface texture and resist work.

Traditional and Nuno

Create two very different sides to your felt; great for reversible coats. Sandwich fleece between two layers of fabric, creating a durable textile for light, warm garments.

Learn to make holes – on purpose.

Here are some examples of traditional and Nuno felt.

Felt Jewellery

Fun, funky and sophisticated brooches, bangles, hat pins, neck-pieces and ear rings are quick simple to make.

View some examples of felt jewellery.

Washing Machine Felt

Let your front loading washing machine do the work to create both traditional and Nuno felt.

My aim is always for you to have fun and learn lots!
