All felting workshops will be hosted on a beautiful patch of Dartmoor (10 mins from Buckfastleigh) outside my cabin and we will be using spring water to transform our wool into beautiful pieces!
Every workshop is 9.30am - 5.30pm but includes check-ins/breaks/group stretching!
There will be time to explore the landscape/plunge in the river when we break for lunch! If you want the full immersive experience, turn these workshops into a camping holiday and sleep under the clear Dartmoor skies on the land for no extra charge :) There is a compost toilet you can use!
There is also an optional organic vegetarian dinner for £12 if you want to be fully looked after, please tick if you want to book dinner and add in your dietary requirements.
Tea/coffee/snacks included in workshop price!
COLLARS: Using either organic Jacobs or Gotland wool to craft lovely warm collars for the colder months. This workshop is the least physically demanding. If you are just wanting to try felting but not sure if its your thing, maybe go for this workshop! Whilst the collar is drying, we will learn to make flecked handmade cordage to tie our collars/shawls around our necks!
RUGS: We will spend two days transforming Gotland fleece into a snuggly vegetarian rugs for your homes. We will card Jacobs wool and felt it onto the back of the Gotland fleece to make a strong sturdy rug. This process if physically demanding so come with plenty of energy and elbow grease as the wet fleece needs to be repeatedly rolled around for about 2 hours. The second day we will patch holes, stitch edging and tidy our rugs up so they are ready to take home.
WAISTCOATS: Make your very own waistcoat by deep diving into the ancient craft of welt felting for a three day experience. Day 1 we will card wool and felt waistcoat panels. Day 2 we will finish any felting and cut waistcoat pattern out. Day 3 we will add our creative touch by stitching panels together, making duffel toggles using handmade cordage and embroidering colourful details and designs. We will end with an optional photoshoot of our beautiful waistcoats!
Hope to get crafty with you in the summer sun!
