Come and play for a day in my studio. Spend the day learning the basics, exploring new techniques, and/or working on a project of your choice. All levels of experience from beginners to the more advanced are catered for.
If you're not sure what you can make, take advantage of the many resources available in my studio: felt books and magazines, samples, see the other participants at work/play or check my instagram account for past participants finished projects.
My studio is in Marrickville, Sydney. The classes run from 10am - 3pm, with all equipment, some materials, and morning tea provided.
Workshop fee is $180, with a non-refundable deposit of $80 due on enrolment. Fees/deposits can be transferred on request outside of 10 days of workshop date. Due to small class numbers I am unable to hold a place for more than 7 days without a deposit. If I haven't received a deposit or notification from you 7 days after booking, your place will automatically go to the next person on the waiting list.
What’s included in the fee? Most materials and use of equipment, morning tea and hot drinks throughout the day. Lots of 1:1 time with me as our maximum class size is 4, so plenty of time to ask questions and get suggestions and feedback on your project/s. Interaction with other classmates and an opportunity to see their projects grow and develop. Notes when applicable and time to explore my studio, resources and purchase raw materials for further projects.
To book a workshop, discuss a project, or for further details email me at : feltwilde@gmail.com
or you can text me on 0404 228 264 and I’ll get back to you when I’m free.
I'll send you an information sheet with all the relevant details, including how to pay your deposit and what to bring.
Wool tops and fabrics will be available for sale and/or you can bring them with you. I am happy to direct you to some wonderful online sellers.
Gift vouchers are also available for the creatives in your tribe.
Please come and join the fun and don't be put off if you believe you're “not creative.” Felt-making is a very forgiving and generous medium, no skills required, just a sense of curiosity and a playful attitude. You'll be pleasantly surprised at what you can achieve and discover that you may just have that creative spark after all.... Gillx
