Feltmaking
14th March 2025 (Bookings by Feb. 28th)
10am - 12.30pm
Canolfan Hermon, Pembrokeshire
10am - 12.30pm
Canolfan Hermon, Pembrokeshire
Come and learn to make felt at the community owned Canolfan Hermon, in a lovely room called 'Bella', with an adjoining kitchen. Perfect for crafting and a cuppa!
You will learn the basics of feltmaking and how to turn your creation into a wall hanging on a piece of driftwood. There will be plenty of coloured wool tops (non-mulesed) for you to choose from to make your felt piece and additional texture can be added too, such as yarns, open weave fabric and curly wool locks.
All materials and equipment, as well as hanging thread and driftwood will be provided, although you may like to beach comb for your own.
There will be plenty of visual resources to help inspire you, including images by other Feltmakers. You will be given an information sheet with some historical context, as well as links to Feltmaking resources.
Please bring a bag to transport your felt piece home in, where you'll then be able to transform it into a wall hanging, if you wish.
Hot drinks and biscuits will be provided (including for dietary requirements).
There will be space for 10 participants.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and anyone that would like to refresh on the basics of feltmaking.
