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.
You can choose between different techniques like wet felting and needle felting, 2d or 3d. Or a combination of all techniques during the three day course.
At the end of each workshop, you'll have enjoyed an educational and cheerful afternoon, and you'll take home a unique piece of art. If you're inspired to continue at home, you can purchase all the materials you need from my shop.
Do you enjoy learning multiple techniques? Sign up for this three-day course. Each lesson has a different theme.
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 that you like and give it your own colour or design. My favourite lesson because the result is always surprising.
The third lesson is different for each course. For example, we can make a relief in felt.
Optional: 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.

During this workshop you will learn to work with wool in an abstract and graphic way. We will look at colour combinations, composition and combining the various materials and felting techniques. Once you have completed this workshop and the ‘painting and sculpting with wool’ workshop, you will have everything you need to continue experimenting at home or here in the studio.
In first lesson you create a series of two or three small works that go together. You can also use fabric and other fibres for this.
The second lesson we will make a seamless cover for a book/bag/laptop/hot-water bottle/etc. We will use wool roving and a plastic template for this. To ensure it's sturdy, we'll make thick felt so it's wise to choose an object that isn't too large. At the end, you can also decorate your felt cover by creating a design on it as an extra layer using needle felting.
The third lesson let's make a piece of needle-punched felt. Needle-punched felt is a soft blanket that has already been partially felted. By cutting shapes from the needle-punched felt and laying them on top of and against each other and then felting them with water and soap, you get a piece with clean lines instead of the painterly look when using roving. You can work very graphically. In this workshop we also use the technique of needle felting. This allows you to add lines and shapes as an extra layer.
To turn it straight into a painting, frames are provided to stretch it on at the end.
During all lessons, the drum carder can be used to blend wool.

Ik heb een vraag over deze workshop
Tijdens deze workshop maak je in 3 uur tijd een mooi schilderij van vilt. De techniek die we gebruiken is natvilten, eventueel aangevuld met naaldvilten. Het leuke van vilten is dat het het een intuitief proces is. Geen ingewikkelde berekeningen of duidelijke plannen. Nadat je kleuren hebt gekozen die je mooi vindt, leg je de wol op elkaar alsof je aan het schilderen bent. Het resultaat blijft een verrassing.
Ben je meer iemand die het fijn vindt om houvast te hebben aan een voorbeeld, zoals een schilderij? Dat kan ook. Je kunt een foto of kaart die je mooi vindt, meenemen.
Aan het einde van de les heb je een schilderijtje gemaakt van ongeveer 30 x 25 cm die je thuis kan inlijsten of met naalden aan de muur kan ophangen.

During this workshop you will learn how to felt around a 3D object. For example, you could choose a bottle, a bowl, tealight holders or something that you use every day but find rather ugly. You create, as it were, a cover that fits the object seamlessly. And in this way it becomes something completely different, and often something much more beautiful!
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!

In this workshop we use barbed needles to connect wool. So there is no water involved this time. It is a kind of modeling and drawing with wool.
You can choose what you want to make. This can be 2D or 3D.
A self-portrait , a Christmas ball in the shape of a polar bear, a real looking apple, a felt flower, etc. If you want to recreate something, it is helpful to bring a photo.
For this workshop you don't need any experience, just patience and some fine motor skills :). Once you get the hang of it you won't be able to stop!
You can also apply this technique to previously made felted works. This way you can combine wet felting with needle felting.
If you are enthusiastic then you can purchase items in the store to get started at home.
