Greenweeds Contemporary Feltwork

We hope you enjoy browsing our individual and contemporary felted home and fashion accessories, created in West Wales using UK fleece. All items are made by hand, each piece unique.

My work can be seen at Y Ddafad Ddu / The Black Sheep gallery in Tregaron.

Workshops

I am presenting two workshops this year at the Denmark Farm Conservation Centre near Lampeter

Saturday 13th October 2012: Feel Like Felt? Learn in a Day

First you will make a flat sheet of felt using just soap, water and fleece, mixing lovely wool colours and creating beautiful patterns. Next you will learn how to use the same technique with a resist to create a purse, mobile phone cover, passport holder or glasses case – no sewing required.

This course is suitable for adult beginners.

Sunday 14th October 2012: Soft Shoe Shuffle: Felt to Fit Slippers

Learn how to make a pair of slippers and new ideas for decorating them. We will consider the British wool breeds most suitable for the wear and tear of footwear. You will learn how to cut a resist to the correct size and adjust the shape to achieve a variety of slipper styles from bootie to mule or maybe a curly toed pixie shoe. You will also learn how to make a matching – or complementary - pair. Expect damp feet and lots of fun!

This course is only suitable for those who have attended the beginners’ workshop or have some previous experience of felt making.

To book on either of these courses, please visit the Denmark Farm Conservation Centre's website
