Flax Flower Felt Workshop - August Craft Month

Create your own beautiful, iconic flax flower to hang on your wall.

In this workshop, you will learn how to create a beautiful 3D flower. You will be shown and given written instructions on how to finish it off and mount it once it has dried at home.

You will be working with beautiful merino wool, bamboo and flax fibres, and the finished flower will be approximately 28 cm in diameter.

All materials and equipment will be supplied.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and more experienced felters, adults only.

Please bring with you two hand towels and a packed lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided.
