“Creativity is not the possession of some special talent - it’s the willingness to play.” John Cleese

All workshops are Project of your Choice (POYC) unless otherwise stated. Project of Your Choice (POYC) - Got a particular project in mind, or you're a newbie and you're not sure how to get started?

Sunday 12th April & Sunday 19th April - Shibori (Japanese tie/clamp and dye technique) on felt. Day 1: Felting then tying and clamping scarf blanks and other materials, ready for the dye pot. Day 2: Dyeing day. Learn how to dye felt into stunning patterns, colours and textures using overdyeing techniques and Landscape Dyes.

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, most 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 watch their projects grow and develop. Notes when applicable and time to explore my studio and access to my suppliers list.

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 as soon as I’m able.

I'll send you an information sheet with all the relevant details, including how to pay your deposit and what to bring.

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
