50 Shades of Grey, Felt! and Textures and Patterns in Nature. These two classes are guaranteed to develop your feltmaking skills to a new level.
They are different to other classes. They focus on your creativity as well as comprehensive skill development. They ate suitable for all skill levels.
Over 40 videos in each class, in real time, PDF resources on a range of topics. The combination of 6 weeks tutoring, 6 live, social Q and A Zooms, lifetime access, and the Facebook group, makes these classes truly great value.
I have been a feltmaker and tutor for over 30 years.
I do hope you can join our worldwide community of feltmakers as it is my last offering for the year.
