Join Our Make Your Own Felt Pot Workshop
Your tutor, Rachel, is looking forward to welcoming you to this exciting felt-making workshop, where she’ll guide you step-by-step through a fun and unusual felting technique that creates a stunning 3D felt pot.
“In this workshop, your pot is formed around a plastic ball, with your design laid up on the ball before adding fibre layers. The fun begins when we bounce the ball on the table to felt the fibres, and ends with the exciting moment of turning your pot right-side out to reveal your unique design!”
This workshop is all about creative experimentation, colour play, and the joy of making something truly unique.

🌈 What You'll Do
During this hands-on workshop, you will:
Learn the technique of felting around a ball
Lay up your chosen design and colours directly onto the ball
Build up fibre layers while keeping them wet with warm soapy water

Turn your felt pot the right way round to reveal your finished design
The focus is on fun, creativity, and learning an exciting new 3D felting technique.
