Dry wool felting

These are classes full of creative sensations, inviting you to touch one of the oldest textile crafts - wool felting. At first glance, ordinary wool becomes an extraordinary creation during felting - warm, soft, colorful and only yours. It is like a small miracle, born between your hands, in the rhythm of needle pricks.

During the training, participants will learn the technique of dry felting – a process in which wool is felted with special needles until the individual hairs stick together and merge into a single shape. Using wool of different types and colors, you will create small, cozy works of art: toys, figurines, jewelry or decorations. The freedom of creativity here is unlimited – each piece is unique, born from imagination and the warmth of hands.

These educations are not only about wool, its types and properties, but also about the textile heritage that people have carried for centuries: from household items to protective symbols. Participants will hear how wool was used in ancient times, why it was valued not only for warmth, but also for its healing properties. The process requires diligence, concentration, and at the same time gives special satisfaction - everyone creates something that pleases and warms.
