Saturday 24 May | A hands-on experience in restoration and creation
We will work with washed virgin wool, specially prepared for the day, ready to be transformed through carding and hand-stuffing techniques. Each participant will shape their own project and return home with a small mattress or finished cushion, handmade from start to finish.
Bring your personal touch:
If you have fabrics that hold special meaning for you or wool you would like to regenerate, bring them along! It will be the perfect opportunity to incorporate them into your work and give them a new life.
Join us for a day of fibres, textures, and softness.
