We are happy to announce the next fall?áfelt-making workshop:?áMake your own felt wool scarf!
Felt is an amazing material. Real felt is made from wool or other animal fibres. It is compressed, agitated, boiled, and manipulated until it becomes a single piece of fabric. Felt was developed in every culture where herding animals were kept, and used not only for clothing but for housing and industrial purposes too.
In this workshop, students will learn about the technique of making felt fabric from loose wool roving. They will make their own beautiful scarf out of wool. All materials and instruction (and fun) will be provided!
Instructor Natasha Henderson is a visual artist, painter, crafter of wool scarves, puppets, and cat-toys. She loves making things by hand and teaching others how to do so, too. She has years of experience teaching workshops in painting, felt-making, and other crafts. Her work (including felt scarves) is sold in galleries and shops across Canada.
Workshop is on Sunday October 14, 1-3:30pm $45,?áall inclusive. Fleurbain is?áat 460 St Catherine West, Suite #917, H3B 1A7, Montreal.
Registration by email or in person. Email for more info: Fleurbain@gmail.com
