Felted Hat with Fleeces Masterclass

Join us for a unique and creative experience where you’ll learn how to make a felted hat using natural wool fleeces—no hat block required!

The innovative pattern design allows you to shape and style your hat in many ways, giving you complete creative freedom to produce a truly individual piece.

Whether you’re a fibre art enthusiast or an aspiring textile entrepreneur, this class offers the perfect blend of technique, creativity, and practicality.
