Location: Greystoke Cycle Cafe

Workshop/Course, from 16 Mar 2018

Felt Slipper Workshop at Quirky Workshops

Felt Slippers made on a Quirky Workshop in Greystoke

Details

Starting from scratch using various colours of soft pure 100% merino wool fibre, you will learn how to lay out and combine these fibres together and mix colours to create subtle hues. Then work them gently together to create your own 'felted fabric design' which you will then turn into two perfect seamless slipper forms.

Mould these to your own foot shape and transform them into a real pair of very warm funky slippers!
