Thank you for visiting my School Felt Workshops section.

I offer two different projects.

Book me and your pupils will LOVE learning the ancient skill of making hand-rolled felt, using wet felting techniques. My workshops are challenging, fun, rewarding and suitable for all ages and abilities. They are especially suited to Primary School (Foundation, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2). Felt making ties in with the science, maths and design curriculum. My workshops enhance teamwork and nurture children’s confidence and wellbeing.

Get in touch to discuss your needs.

I use the highest quality Merino wool from South American sheep. It’s soft on the skin and hard-wearing. The colour dyes are non-toxic, colourfast and baby safe!

I'm fully insured and DBS checked.

In a day I can offer:

Project 1: FELT PICTURES 
Starting size, before shrinkage: 21cm x 21cm. Choose your own theme for example self-portraits, woodland animals, space and the planets, dinosaurs, jungle, plants & flowers, seasons, favourite characters from books, Aztecs, animals, styles of an artist, Monet's waterlilies, Georgia O'Keeffe's flowers, Kandinsky's centric rings.

I work with around 30 pupils in the morning and 30 pupils in the afternoon. I show them how to make a felt square each. These squares can be collated into a large wallhanging (with tabs) to create a wonderful permanent display in your school. An extra fee is charged for this collating service.

My Day Fee (£300) plus materials (£2 per person) and travel (45p per mile or cost of train ticket).

Do feel free to contact me and I'd be happy to discuss your requirements.

Project 2: LARGE WALLHANGING
Starting size, before shrinkage: 3 sections of 1m x 0.5m. Create a long or tall wallhanging with a theme of your choice for example seasons, woodlands, landscapes, around your school, walking to school, riverside, recycling or jungle.

I work with up to 30 children during the day-long workshop. The wallhanging is divided into 3 sections with roughly 10 pupils working on each segment. These are joined to produce a long or tall felt ‘painting’. In the morning session, the wool is laid down and the design is prepared. In the afternoon the children wet and rub the wool so that it shrinks and hardens, becoming fabric-like. The felt is then repeatedly ‘rolled’ to shrink and stiffen it further. Once assembled, the beautiful wallhanging can be displayed permanently and prominently in your school. If I receive the children’s design ideas in advance they can be incorporated into the design.

This project is fantastic for building teamwork and cooperation!
