Felt Bowls - Whakatū Nelson

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. Once you’ve mastered the process, you’ll have the skills and confidence to continue felting at home, unlocking endless possibilities for creating beautiful, handmade pieces.
