Felted Sheepskin Workshops

We have been asked loads of times how we make our Felted Sheepskins and its really one of those processes that you need to see to understand. So we are really pleased to announce that we are now offering one day workshops in Felted Sheepskins. You can learn how to make your very own Felted Sheepskin to take home with you. You will learn how to make a felted rug completely by hand giving you the skills to make rugs at home. (don’t worry we will send you home with an instruction sheet in case you can’t remember everything!) We will also add you to a private Facebook group where we will offer ongoing support and advice (and we can share our makes). The course will be held at our studio on our farm in Devon, near Launceston.

The course will be very informal but here are some of the things we can talk about whilst making and some of the details:

• Sheep (always up for sheep chat)

• Fleece selection (what’s hot and what’s not)

• Where to source fleece (to buy or not to buy)

• Shearing  (best practice)

• Fleece storage and preparation (prepare /prepare /prepare)

• Felting (getting to the point)

• Washing (got to be done)

• Finishing (to brush or not to brush – the all important final touches!)

• One day course (9.30 – 4pmish)

• Class size 2 max

• Ongoing support and advice

• All materials provided

• Tea/Coffee & Biscuits (bring own lunch)

• Cost £185

*If you have your own fleece that you would like to bring to felt, you are welcome to bring it along and we can assess its suitability – otherwise you can choose from a selection of many fleeces we have in the studio.

(You will need to dry and finish your rug at home – we will teach you how to do this)
