Workshop: Needle Felting Fashion

What if the wool that farmers often discard could become the building block of future textiles? In this hands-on session, Boldwool introduces FeltFabriCk: an innovative process that fuses local wool with up-cycled fabrics into strong, expressive, and repairable materials. The workshop is both tactile and reflective: you’ll engage with wool as fiber, but also as part of an ecosystem where design, farming, and circular economy meet.

Learn how undervalued wool is transformed through enzyme-assisted washing and needle-felting. Together with designer Rebecca Fowden experiment with her felting techniques to create your own small FeltFabriCk samples.

Explore the stories behind the material, from the farm where the wool was sheared, to the design possibilities it unlocks. No prior textile experience required, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
