Felt bowl making - Ōtepoti Dunedin

Learn traditional felting techniques to make a felt bowl with natural, un-dyed Aotearoa wool with visiting craftsperson Mirabel Oliver.

Did you know that felting is the oldest known way to make fabric? In this 2-hour workshop, you’ll explore the ancient art of felting to create a beautiful and functional felt bowl from natural, un-dyed Aotearoa wool. Using just wool, soap, and water, you’ll learn this simple practice that requires no machines or chemicals.
