Looking for a fun, creative activity for your child? Join our series of Wet Felting Workshops. A hands-on experience where young people can learn the magic of transforming soft, colourful wool into amazing handmade creations!
Throughout the session, the children will be introduced to the basics of felting and will be guided through the processes of layering, agitating the wool, molding and trimming.
Inspiration will come from the sights, sounds, creatures and plants that thrive in the meadows and along the riverbank in Otley.
The workshop is led by Louise Baker, a qualified teacher and felting expert. Louise teaches felting and art extensively to children and adults in the local area.
Please buy 1 ticket per child attending. Parents/carers do not need to stay.
This project is part of the Seasons of Culture Programme funded by West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Leeds City Council through the Leeds Cultural Investment Programme.
