THE SAUNA HAT EXPERIENCE - Wet Felting a Sauna Hat Workshop
About this Event
Join this sauna hat wet felting workshop at the beautiful Shire Retreat and create your own headwear from natural wool. Guided step by step by wool artist Sadie, you’ll shape and form your own sauna hat using a simple wet felting technique that’s as calming as it is satisfying. You don't need any previous experience to join in; just come as you are and enjoy the tactile process of working with wool.
Learn a new hobby & get more creative with making from scratch
Sadie is a passionate maker who loves empowering people to get hands-on and feel more connected to the materials they use, with sustainability in mind with each make.
Hand-felt your sauna hat
Learn the traditional wet felting process using natural wool to create your sauna hat then learn the basics in needle felting to personalise your design. Using an ecru or grey wool base you'll add your own flair with colourful shapes or wording. This workshop is a wonderful way to switch off and find a new creative hobby.
Gain versatile skills
Once you’ve mastered the basics of shaping your hat, you'll discover how to apply these techniques to other felted projects in the future like bags, berets, or even felted pictures.
