Felt waistcoat workshop
Come and learn the ancient craft of felting
Using techniques that have been used since our pre-historic ancestors, felt is considered a ‘pre-textile’ and is the oldest fabric on earth other than using animal skins

We will learn how to process and card wool fibres, spending quite some time processing enough wool for one waistcoat
We will then felt 3 panels (one back panel amd two front panels)
