Learn the technique of wet felting using fleece from British sheep
Tutor: Lorraine Pocklington
In this day long workshop you will build on the wet felting techniques learned in the beginners’ class to make yourself (or a friend) a wearable felt hat. Learn how to create a made to measure template, and how to influence the shape of the felt to make the style of hat that you favour – whether a beret, a cloche, a trilby or any number of classic styles. Warm and surprisingly waterproof, your aim will be to take away a hat that you are happy to wear in public! In preparation for this class you will need to measure your head. A couple of weeks ahead we’ll ask you for your choice of colour and get you thinking about the style of hat you’d like to make.
Fee: £40 (£35 if you book early*) & (£6 for materials to be paid on the day)
*early bird fee valid if booked and paid for at least two weeks in advance
