Felted and Stitched Beret Workshop

Beret’s are a timeless classic and relatively simple to make, even if you have never made felt before you can make one! In this workshop you will learn:

  • how to lay out and wet-felt wool fibres over a resist
  • to add silk hankies or fibres
  • to full (shrink) your felt so it is has a beautiful shape
  • how to shape and stitch the felt to create striking designs

Class fee includes wool and decorative fibres, as well as use of basic felting equipment.

This class is for adults and is suitable for beginner and intermediate felt-makers.

When: Sunday 5th July, 10am – 4pm

Where: Teri Berry Studio, nr Clevedon, Auckland

Price: $90 per person

You will need to bring: 

  • Your lunch / snacks (the nearest cafe is a 15 minute drive away).
  • A small to medium sized pair of sharp scissors, with a point. You will need to push the point of the lower blade into the felt so please don’t bring scissors with rounded tips. We can share my scissors if you don’t have a pair.
  • Some clothes pegs (the kind with a metal spring), 15 should be plenty.
  • A plastic bag or bin liner to take your damp felt home in.

I will provide tea, coffee and biscuits but please remember your lunch!

Booking is essential. Please contact me to book your place and choose your wool colours.
