Learn the ancient craft of wet-felting while you make a seamless, felted bag with integrated handle and flap with a magnetic clasp. I will show you how to lay out wool over a resist, blend wool colours to achieve a gradual colour change and add an internal pocket (optional) to your bag.

Learn how to use resists to create hollow, 3D shapes, how to add magnetic clasps and cut your felt create a handle and flap. We will work the felt so the bag has a flat bottom and the felt is stiff enough to stand up on its own without the need for chemical stiffeners.

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

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