Workshop: creating with prefelt.

I will be running a school holiday workshop on Thursday, 7th October at the Central School in Braidwood.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore some of the many and varied ways in which prefelt can be used to create a finished piece of felt.

Numbers are limited and places are filling fast, so leave a comment for further information and to book your place.

Some examples of pieces created with prefelt.


"Scribbly Gum" hat, hand felted, merino wool with hand and machine made prefelts and hand spun yarn.
