Fabulous Felted Flowers with Dawn Edwards
1 day workshop Fri May 29, 2020
9 AM – 4 PM
$125 +materials
In this fun hands-on workshop, we will transform Merino wool roving/top into beautiful felt flowers using just our hands, imagination, and a little soap and water. This magical process is called wet felting. You may choose to wear your felt flower(s) to adorn a coat or hat by placing them on a pin-back/brooch, or even or on a headband or fascinator base to wear on your next special outing.
Suitable for all levels of felting experience.

Fabulous Felted Hats with Dawn Edwards
Sat, Sun May 30 & 31 2020
9 AM – 4 PM
$250 +materials
During our felt exploration, there will be ample time for experimentation, as well as inspiration, as we create fabulous felt and nuno-felt hats. We will focus on techniques, patterns, and concepts…using both open and closed resists (and some using multiple resists) to design our sculptural felt creations. Such a dilemma…So many hats and only one head! Which style will you choose? Fun, whimsical, or classic? The choice is yours.
We will create our hats over a template (flat resist), using wet-felting techniques and Merino wool tops. You will have the option of incorporating lightweight silk fabrics for nuno-felting. You will love the artistic possibilities, with functionality as an added bonus.
Suitable for all levels. Some standing involved. We will be rolling our felt which requires some physical exertion. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothes.
