Wet Felting - Purse making

Join us for a creative and hands-on Wet Felting Workshop, where you’ll learn the fascinating art of turning raw wool fibers into a functional and beautiful small purse. Whether you’re new to felting or already have some experience, this workshop will introduce you to the essential skills and techniques that will allow you to expand your craft journey.

What is Wet Felting?

Wet felting is a magical process that transforms loose, natural wool fibers into a solid fabric using just soap, water, and a little elbow grease! This ancient craft offers endless possibilities, from making functional items like bags and clothing to decorative pieces and artwork. You’ll experience the tactile joy of working with natural materials while honing your creativity.

What You’ll Learn:

In this workshop, you will discover how to layer wool fibers, apply soap and water to bind the fibers together, and manipulate the wool into shape through gentle rolling and massaging. You will follow step-by-step guidance to create your very own unique felt purse, learning important skills such as:

• Preparing wool for felting
• Understanding wool properties and fiber layout
• Layering techniques for strength and structure
• Using resist shapes to create 3D objects (in this case, a small purse)
• Shaping and finishing your piece

At the end of the workshop, you will have a finished, personalized felt purse to take home—perfect for holding coins, cards, or small treasures! You’ll also walk away with the foundational skills to experiment on your own, whether you’re interested in making more accessories, home décor, or even larger felted items.
