Tutor: Simone Bensdorp.

In this class you will learn the basics of wet felt making by making a beautiful felt bowl from natural NZ wool! Wool is a sustainable and local resource, which is great fun to craft with. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and create.

You will learn:
How to make a pattern using a resist
How to ‘wet felt’ using soap and waterHow to make 3D felt objects
How to make 3D felt objects

You will leave with a handmade bowl and the skills to continue felting at home... be warned, it's addictive!

Materials list: Please bring 1 towel. All other materials will be provided.

Children 10+ are welcome to attend with an adult.
