Felting in The Hague!

The workshops take place in my shop, which is also my studio. In this space I am normally busy making lamps and wall hangings but I also like to combine my work with meeting other people, like you, to teach about felting.

I personally enjoy felting objects the most. Modeling with wool always gives surprising results. In thrift stores I buy vases, bottles and sometimes strange objects that we use during the workshop.

But also making a painting using the wool as paint is fun to do together. The results are always totally different.

At the end of the workshop you will have had an educational, fun afternoon and you will return with unique work of art. And should you want to get started at home as well, you can purchase your materials here in the shop..

Beginnerscursus ‘Schilderen en boetseren met wol’ – 3 x 4 uur

Vind je het leuk om meerdere technieken te leren? meld je dan aan voor deze cursus van drie dagen. Elke les heeft een ander thema.

The first lesson you will learn how the felting process works. I explain all kinds of things about the wool, the technique and the possibilities. You will experience how it works by making your own little painting out of wool. During this lesson you can use the carding mill to mix colors and make a nice gradient in colors. You can also add details using the dry-felt technique.

The second lesson I will show you how to felt a vase or a bottle. Bring an object you like and give it your own color or drawing. My favorite class because the result is always surprising!

The third lesson is different for each course. For example, we can make a relief in felt.

Optioneel: When you have created something beautiful it comes out best when it is framed. Bring some frames and together we will determine a nice composition and crop the work so it can be framed. This morning takes 2 hours and is for those who want it. I ask € 25,00 extra for this.

Create a felted 3d object - 3 hours

During this workshop you will learn to felt a 3d object. For example, you could choose a bottle, a bowl, tea lights or something crazy like a porcelain rabbit. You will create a cover that will seamlessly fit the object.

There a lot's of colored wool available and you can use the carding mill to mix colors. That way you can create a subtle gradient of colors. It is always surprising how you can really make something beautiful in a short time.

You can bring your own object or choose one (+ €2.50/€5.00/€7.50).

After this workshop, you will be familiar with the technique of wet felting, know how to make a seamless cover and be able to make your own mold.

So you will know everything to continue at home!
