Learn something new this year!
Feltmaking Courses and Workshops in Abbotsbury, Dorset
These courses are held either at my studio at 13 Market Street, right in the centre of the village, or in the village hall (‘Strangways Hall). There is some parking outside on the street or you could park in the Ilchester Arms Car Park.
Whether you are an individual wanting to come on your own, or a group of 2 or 3 people, I will normally be able to arrange a date, or team you up with someone else who wants to come on their own.
If you’d like to come on a private feltmaking course, I can also arrange that.
I also run courses for special groups - if you have a group of 2 or 3 friends (or more) we can arrange something at a mutually agreed date - which should be preferably during the week.
Contact me for more details on any of these ideas -
Prices for my feltmaking courses and workshops
£57 including wool (but excluding silk chiffon, if you’re making a Nuno silk scarf) ... unless you come for two days, in which case it will be £97 for 2 days.
If you book and pay within one week, there will be a discount on these fees.
Some concessions available (eg for young people/students) - please contact me.
The first of the 2 days will be basic feltmaking. The next day will be a little more advanced. You can do just the first day, just the second day, or both days!
You can either work on a project of your own with my help; or I will be teaching one of the following techniques: making a seamless bag with integral handle, a simple hat; slippers (more difficult), or nuno felt (felting onto muslin or silk chiffon- makes gorgeous scarves), depending on what gets the most votes!
Please also state your preference of what you would like to learn on the second day, if you are coming for 2 days.
If you need help with accommodation, please let me know, I have 2 friends in the village who run lovely B&B's for a very good price ....
On the course, you should bring with you:
In winter, it can be cold – so bear that in mind when choosing what to wear.
