  • Keld Resource Centre Keld Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL11 6LJ (map)

The craft of felting goes back many centuries and is known to have been used in the Upper Dale by the farmers, and lead miners as linings to clothing, and footwear. This workshop will provide an opportunity to learn how to make a felted 'vessel' using a variety of wool and plant fibres including the local Swaledale wool, utilising the ancient craft of wet felting to create a felt vessel or pot or inspired by the local landscape colours, specifically limestone and lichens. 

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners, no previous felting experience is necessary. Please bring a packed lunch. Tea & coffee will be available.
