Make fabulous felt - needle felting and wet felting techniques to make animals, bags, pictures...
Description
Felt Making Classes This is a wonderful, tactile craft and seems to be the 'in' thing at the moment. I have been teaching feltmaking for around 15 years so you are in safe hands. I also try to tailor the class so that you can choose what you make (within reason) so we can look at making a specific animal, or even creating a picture based on one you have bought with you. I also teach hollow form, so you can make a bag, Ipad cover etc too. What is felt making? Felting is the process of fusing wool fibres (pre-spinning stage) together to create felt, which has numerous properties as well as being very versatile to use. I teach a range of needle felting techniques for embellishment or to create beads, 3D shapes, animals and felted pictures. Wet felting is also covered including making flat felt, and hollow things such as bags that doesn't need stitching, ipad covers, tea cosies...the list goes on. COST My home workshop only fits up to 3 people, which means any course booked will not be cancelled due to low numbers. The course price shown is for ONE to ONE classes. (If another person wants to book the same date as you, I will get in touch to discuss this.) If you are booking for 2/3 people the course fee will be reduced per person (usually by around 30%) so please get in touch for me to organise this for you. Class runs from 10 – 3pm. Classes take place in Colchester, Essex. All materials included but please bring your lunch.

FAQs
Colchester is in North Essex and roughly an hour by train from London.
Sorry no. In order to keep costs down I ask that students bring their own lunch, it also helps to keep the stress levels down when working out what people are able to eat. I do supply tea, coffee and biscuits though.
Age need not be a barrier, however much of the equipment I use is not suitable for primary-aged children. I do ask you to vouch for any young person who comes in terms of how they will work with potentially dangerous tools. You can always book to come together.
I do have a garden workshop, which is on ground floor level but can be cold at times. If you have any accessibility needs, do get in touch and I will do my best to accommodate you - that might be running the workshop in my house instead of the garden workshop, running a class online, or even coming to you (in order, to make this viable it works best if you have a couple of friends who'd like to join in too.)
Yes, my road is not a busy one, so you can usually park on the road outside, or even on my drive, if we remember to move our car over.
Yes I do. Please get in touch and I will confirm the price per person for 2 or more people. Usually, the price goes from £145 for 1 to 1 to around £125 per person.
