Felting Workshop: Creating with Wool & Texture

Event Description

Felting is a tactile, expressive craft that transforms raw wool into beautiful, functional, and artistic pieces. Felting is both practical and deeply creative, it is rooted in ancient traditions and is used for everything from clothing to sculptures.

In this workshop, Rosen will introduce you to the magic of felting. You'll learn how to manipulate wool fibres using different felting techniques, creating a small handmade piece to take home. Whether you’re drawn to felting for its rich history, its creative possibilities, or simply as a soothing hands-on craft, this session is a great place to start.
