Create a simple yet elegant seamless 3d pod using wool in a colour of your choice in this popular half day workshop. You will learn how to make a resist pattern, layout the wool and make a permanent shape using only soap and water!

During the workshop you will learn how to -
- design and create your resist template
- select and use different types of wools for your project
- layout the wool to create a seamless pod vessel
- apply a choice of embellishments to decorate your pod
- use the wet felting technique to felt the wool and shape it into a permanent form.
