A multi-tiered hollow form vessel workshop exploring both 2D and 3D template resists to create concave and convex manipulations of surface and form. Using slab built ceramic form as inspiration, we will be joining up panels and cylinders made from partial felt with two different types of surface texture: resisted plane and hollow formed protrusions. […]
Calling all Region 8 members, and any non members who’d like to join us for a Play Day at Arnesby Village Hall LE8 5WG. Our Sunday Play Days are always very relaxed and informal, we provide the tea, coffee and biscuits, you just bring a packed lunch, your felting gear and whatever you’re working on. […]
Region 12 meet on the first Tuesday of the month to make felt together, share ideas and tips and eat biscuits. A chance to spend the whole day making felt, with plenty of space and support.
Zoom meeting for all Region 18 IFA members held the second Thursday every 2 months. Other IFA members worldwide are welcome to join us. Contact or for meeting details.
This is a small scale felt jewelry course focused on layering techniques to build next level ornamental design inspired by metal jewelry mounting techniques of bezel and prong settings and elaborate bails for hanging. Partial felt will be cut to shape a bezel, the reveal hole to see the encased object adding versatility to the […]

Create a simple yet elegant seamless 3d pod using wool in a colour of your choice in this popular half day workshop. You will learn how to make a resist pattern, layout the wool and make a permanent shape using only soap and water! These little pods are great as decorations, pods for keeping your […]
In this workshop, participants will explore the sculptural potential of felt through the development of hollow forms. You will learn how to build volume using a resist, gaining control over shape and structure from the inside out. Through an in-depth exploration of differential shrinkage and directional fulling, you will discover how density, fiber placement, and […]
Learn technique for layout/wrapping of various 2D resist template shapes in a consistent thinness of wool fiber while simultaneously integrating distinct areas of denser partial felt shapes to explore extreme differential shrinkage as a means of sculpting surface relief and unique hollow form. Participants will make partially felted sheets of fiber from varying thicknesses and […]
Working with beautiful silk organza and merino wool create your own stunning scarf
