In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the fascinating art of wet felting, a traditional technique that transforms wool fibres into beautiful works of art. Participants will learn the art of wet felting, a process that uses water, wool, and soap to create textual felted scenes.

Whether your interest lies in abstract compositions or detailed, realistic landscapes, this workshop provides the tools and techniques to bring your artistic vision to life. By the end of the session, each participant will have created their own unique wool painting to take home and proudly display. No prior experience is necessary — just bring your imagination and a willingness to explore a new medium. All materials will be provided.
