Spend an enjoyable day learning to felt a textured book jacket sleeve with a unique desogn of your own. This is a great workshop for beginners wishing to advance their felt making skills and for those want to expand their felting knowledge. Workshop attendees can choose to work in a range of colours from our extensive wool store.
