A warm welcome to my blog!
Here you will find my fiber craft creations: wet felted and needle felted handmade products made with love. I love fiber craft and being creative with natural fibers like sheep's wool, silk, cotton, linen and more. I love to share my skills in demonstrations and workshops. It is my pleasure to create bespoke fiber craft. In 2021 I have stopped updating this blog. You can find updates about my activities, workshops and events on my website: www.laryna.com
Create a seamless felt or a flat felt: Felt making is a traditional technique to create a fabric out of sheep's wool fibres, using warm water, soap and friction. In this felt workshop you will learn the skill of wet felting or improve your existing felting skills.
You’ll start with colourful fluffy, soft wool fibres and transform
those into a firm, felted, useful item, like a seamless pouch, or seamless wrist cuffs or a
flat felt. It can be a fantastic opportunity to create a very unique
gift. It's fun and rewarding! All hollow items will be felted around a resist pattern. This workshop is suitable for beginners and intermediate. Cost: £18/£15 concession. A complementary cup of tea and biscuits are included. Booking in advance is essential, as numbers are limited to 4 participants. Please feel free to invite friends!

Testimonial:: I enjoyed the guided journey to start the afternoon. It
really set the tone for the creativity. It was also fantastic to see
other people’s creations taking shape and to take inspiration from the
beautiful display. The teaching style was relaxed and encouraging and
very informative. Thank you for a lovely afternoon. Karen L.
