I am feeling a little bit sad today, the second iteration of the concertina hat class has come to a close 🙁
It has been a fun 6 weeks with lots of lovely, creative, supportive, kind and talented felt-makers. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them all progress through the tutorials, injecting their own personalities into each hat (how else do you explain the variety of hats they produced?). All the hats were amazing (and a few people branched out in vessels and lamp shades too) so I will let their photos speak for themselves. These are the photos from students who were happy to have them shared online, in no particular order….

Didn’t they all do fantastically well? I am so proud of you all! 🙂
I was planning to run the next class in Spring 2017 but have just heard there are already more than 15 people on the waiting list so I expect we will run it a little earlier with registration opening at the end of January and the class running through March and early April. If you would like to receive early-bird updates of the next course dates please drop me line via the contact form on the right and I will add you to the mailing list.
Stunning hats! Such a wonderful variety – thank you for posting the photos.
Thanks Lyn and thank you to all the talented feltmakers who generously gave me permission to share their wonderful works of art 🙂
Wonderful! Such a variety of creative ideas. You’re right all the different personalities show thru! Great job everyone and especially to a terrific teacher and inspiration.
Thank you Marilyn, are you still making hats after finishing the first concerting class?
Great hats! Congratulations to all the students and the tutor!
Thank you Galina and good luck for your next felted fish class, I sure it will be another wonderful success!
Thanks Teri, it was great fun doing that class, i learned a lot , not only new techniques but also new members of the FFS.
Thanks again everybody and i wish you all merry Christmas and happy new year!
thank you Viltmaaraan, I am so glad you enjoyed the class and met some new felting play-mates 🙂 Wishing you a very merry Christmas and happy New Year too <3
Another great class Teri! I love the variety that they created. It’s always amazing that people can take the same directions and come up with such different outcomes.
I love seeing all the different directions people take with these hats, as Evelyn said, she feels like a “high sculptress” when placing the folds and that is a very apt description of the process 🙂 I am looking forward to seeing what wonders the next class will produce…
