Join us as we learn how to make a vessel from felted wool. I will explain how to lay out fibre and share several ways you can decorate your pod with silk hankies and other fibres. Learn how to full (firmly felt) and shape your vessel so the felt is sturdy and keeps its shape.

This class is hosted in collaboration with Deaf Aotearoa who will be providing a Sign Language interpreter but the class is open everyone (you don’t need to be fluent in NZSL!).

Class fee includes wool and silks to make and decorate your pod, as well as use of felting equipment.

This class is for adults and suitable for beginners.
