Learn the Art of Feltmaking

Due to other work commitments I am not organising any workshops at the moment. I have some availability to run workshops for private groups during 2025 - if you are interested please do contact me.

I do love teaching workshops; sharing the wonderful transformational properties of wool, supporting learning and seeing beautiful feltwork being created. I will miss doing this as much teaching as usual this year (2025), but do have some groups booked in, and am very much looking forward to these.

"Have wool, will travel"

I have been teaching feltmaking since 2007 and really enjoy sharing techniques, hints and tips with my students.   I work with many different groups and organisations and can adapt to new venues and students.  Some of the groups I have felted with include: children, school groups from Year 4 – 11, embroidery guilds, art groups, youth organisations, WI’s, adult summer schools, colleges, environmental groups, historical events and public fun days.  I offer a variety of techniques from beginner to advanced.

ONLINE COURSES

My online courses are closed for a while whilst I revise my account following changes made by the host.

Feltmaking Kits

If you can’t make a workshop then my feltmaking kits will let you learn at home.

I have designed my feltmaking kits to enable everyone to try feltmaking .  They have all been carefully devised and tested to ensure that people new to feltmaking can understand what to do, know how to use the materials and finish with some lovely felted items.

My kits contain everything you need to get you felting: laminated instructions, plenty of gorgeous wool, natural soap flakes, bubblewrap and other essential items.

Felted Vessels with British Wool 
Make 2 vessels from this kit which champions lovely British Shetland wool in it’s natural colours.

Feltmaking Kit for Two  
A kit to share, or use twice.  These kits are available in a choice of  colourful Merino or natural British wool.  They provide everything you need for two people to begin feltmaking together.

Fabulous Felted Flowers  
Make 3 beautiful unique flower corsages using my hand dyed British wool.

Customer feedback

"The kit is superb. I am very wary of kits as they are usually disappointing and to be avoided. Yours is generous in its supply of required materials – plus the instructions are detailed and extensive. What a wonderful gift I was given. Thank you Jennie for making it so good."
