Felt Wreath Workshop
Enter into the christmas spirit and create your own festive felt wreath.
This workshop is open to all ages and abilities as you learn how to create a sustainable wreath using felt knotting techniques and experiment with embellishing and adorning your wreath with a variety of wooden decorations, ribbons and dried fruits.
Through demonstration learn how to cut and knot the felt and how to build up the layers on the wire frame. Select your own colours to create an ever-lasting fun wreath to keep or gift.
