Join Lena Archbold for the Felted Hat with Fleeces Masterclassat Eden Textile Studio in Scotland.
Join us for a unique and creative experience where you'll learn how to make a felted hat using natural wool fleeces—no hat block required!
In this hands-on masterclass, you’ll create a hat with beautiful volume and a flexible design that fits a range of head sizes. This is a key advantage, especially for those who intend to sell their hats: one hat can fit multiple sizes comfortably, making it ideal for a broader market.
The innovative pattern design allows you to shape and style your hat in many ways, giving you complete creative freedom to produce a truly individual piece.
Whether you're a fibre art enthusiast or an aspiring textile entrepreneur, this class offers the perfect blend of technique, creativity, and practicality.

How to build a hat template
