Imagination does not become great until human beings, given the courage and the strength, use it to create.

Introduction to Felt Making

Felt making is an ancient craft. Some of the earliest known fabrics were made of felt- to protect humanity from the harsh elements.

The technique has been refined over the centuries and can now be shaped into decorative forms. In this workshop we will cover the basics of wet-felting to create a beautiful piece of original artwork.

Attending one of my workshops is not just about the process of making a piece of felt- although that is the essence. There will also be time to pause and to think about your place in the world and the unfolding climate crises, and how you want to make a contribution. The act of creating is an important component in the situation we all find ourselves in, and is a vital element in us dreaming up a new reality together.

Now you can learn this ancient craft guided by me in an interactive online workshop.

Once you have learnt the basics of the wet-felting technique, you can then attend one of my more advanced felt-making workshops which will take you through some more complex applications of this form.

‘‘The class was very engaging and Nina was so supportive and explained everything step-by-step. This made it easy to relax and I really enjoy being creative and learning something new. I’m so pleased with the result, great fun and something I would definitely recommend to others’’- Workshop participant May 2024


Creativity leading the way

If you are a dreamer come in
If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer
If you’re a pretender come sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin

Come in!

Come in!
