Everybody looks great in a woolly jumper and this little felted woollen planter won't scratch your surfaces! This kit provides you with sufficient merino wool tops to create a small felt vessel - think tea cup sized. It also includes some of the materials and some of the equipment you need. Any other equipment you will be able to find around your home and a sheet of hacks will be included in your kit. You'll learn how to layer and mix fibres. What a resist is and the best materials to make one from. How to control shrinkage, how to shape your vessel and where to find out about felting history.

Be inspired by Jim Ede's pebble displays at Kettles Yard and land artists Andy Goldsworthy and Richard Long. Display your pebbles on a table in a bowl on a shelf or a book case or thread them onto a linen string to create a window/wall hanging for your bathroom or elsewhere in your home. This kit provides you with sufficient wool tops, wool roving, acrylic filling to create 5 natural coloured stones between 4-10cm in diameter or 10 tiny pebbles for a wall hanging. It also includes a chunk of olive oil soap, a needle felting needle and a length of linen yarn. You will also be provided with a link to a comprehensive video showing how to create the pebbles/stones.

A Tabletop Workshop taking place at the Purr & Wag It home studio in Camberwell, London. The weekend sessions run in the afternoon from 2pm and the evening from 6.30pm. Please note I need a minimum of 2 participants to run this workshop. The fast fix way to make a sprig of my covetable Everlasting Mistletoe using simple hand sewing and wire wrapping techniques. You'll learn how to create the branches from floristry wire and 100% wool and cut the leaf shapes from the 100% wool felt provided. Then you'll attach the berries and leaves by hand stitching and add a final flourish with a piece of red organza ribbon. As you will be cutting your leaves during the workshop you may not stitch all of these and the berries to your sprig within the session. However, you'll be given sufficient materials to do so at home. If you have arthritis in your hands or a similar condition you may find binding the wire tautly a little tricky but I can help you with this. Also the stitch work is likely to take a little longer. Very much a case of straight forward once you know how. PS: the last photos are of bunches. Want this much? a) join another workshop b) buy sufficient materials to make more or pop over to products and buy some there.

This private Live online version of my 3D wet felting workshop needs a minimum of three people to run and for me to post you kits; please bear this in mind when booking. It takes a bit longer than the in person workshop; about 3 and a half hours. But I also recommend allowing for a 15 minute break half way through. It could be run over a couple of afternoons or evenings. Please message me if you're looking to join a group. On this workshop you’ll use a variation of 2D wet felting to create a small vessel/planter. Heather will post you a kit with the materials and some of the equipment you need. Any other equipment you will be able to find around your home. The pre-class notes explains all. On the workshop you’ll be guided through how to use the resist, the layering and felting techniques to make and shape your work. Once you've mastered this you can make slippers, bags, cat caves, hats, hot water bottle covers, lamp shades, purses, phone covers, and the list goes on ... I usually run this workshop with a 15 minute break roughly half way through. There are a maximum of six participants to enable me to see what you're all doing. Keeping it small means I have plenty of time for one on one attention. Processing the fibres is made up of a series of repetitive actions. Many people find this relaxing and some a stress buster. But, the final stages of wet felt making can be quite vigorous and very hands on. If you have arthritis or a similar condition in your hands you may find parts of the process more challenging. This does not mean you will not be able to undertake this workshop, just that it may take you a little longer to felt your work. But if you're feeling at all unsure please message me.

The most zoned-out from London city life that you’ll ever be is what we guarantee in this glorious mindful craft; paper cutting. It’s incredible to think that everyday items can create something so beautiful. We've taken this art to the next level and created beautiful paper cuts that are layered on top of each other to create the most stunning 3D effect. We have taught paper cutting workshops since we opened our doors back in 2013 and we still love it today - we're continuously look to modernise our workshops and this is just one prime example. Our paper cutting workshops are suitable for any level of crafter and don't worry we will teach you how to handle a scalpel if you never have. You can either frame your one of a kind paper cut design after the workshop or scan your artwork for printing wedding invitations, Christmas cards, christening invites, baby announcements or designs for clothing.

Stuff and Fings | Ceramics invites... insta @stuffnfings @shirleynettewilliams Artist Shirley Nette Williams creates Hybrid sculptures using two of the most relaxing craft activities, ceramics and textiles. Come and spend an afternoon making your own wall-based sculpture inspired by the textures and techniques of her work.

This workshop will provide you with basic hand-building techniques (slab building and pinch) and playful ways to add texture to the clay surface. You will also learn how to manipulate colourful fabrics into a 3D form which will later be attached to your finished ceramic piece to complete your sculpture. This workshop's main focus is about combining ceramics and textiles to push the boundaries of traditional forms. We explore alternative forms of ceramic, adding a special twist with colourful fabrics. Session The session is split into 2 parts. Part 1 - We dive into the basics of creating your hand-built sculptural form with a short demo and chat. We will explore various ways of applying texture to the surface then colour your wonderful greenware using underglazes. 3hrs - with a 15min break Lunch! Please bring a packed lunch, microwave/fridge and tea/coffee making facilities are available. Part 2 - Will be spent making a contrasting 3D textile piece that will later be attached to your ceramic form. You will construct a simple wire frame that will be wrapped and bound with various fabrics, threads and yarns. 2hrs - with a 15min break These are 6hr sessions. Personal and individual guidance is given throughout. All clay, tools, underglazes and textiles are provided and included in the fee.
