Hungarian feltmaker and teacher Judit Pócs has an upcoming online, two-day felting workshop on felted jewellery. The name of the class is ‘4Forms Necklace’.

In this course, students will make a double pendant necklace. Both elements consist of four separate, repeating shells.

• You can decorate the innermost part of the hollow forms with sequined fabrics, shiny pieces of yarn or different fibres such as viscose or silk.
• You can create the four shells with a contrasting colour combination or choose four colour shades that harmonize with each other.
• You can cut the edges of the shells centrally or offset.
• For the inner layer of each shape, we use fine factory-made prefelt, and for the outer layers, we use 16-micron Australian merino wool rovings.
• The connecting cords and the necklace’s cord are also made from factory-made pre-felt.

During the live and interactive session, you will receive step-by-step assistance from Judit on how to create this jewellery.

Besides the basics, you will learn some special techniques during this workshop:

• Joining more hollow forms together using a separating foil
• Creating nice, evenly cut edges
• Making cords using pre-felt
• Use of sequin fabric
• Using and blending colours

A total of 8 hours of online course with instructor Judit Pócs on the 4th and 5th of November (Saturday and Sunday) 2023, from 5 PM to 9 PM (Central European Time, which is an hour earlier than Irish Time).

{Editor’s note: Having taken multiple online workshops with Judit, I can attest that she is an excellent teacher. She teaches live via Zoom. Several days before the class starts, students receive a PDF document filled with photographs and step-by-step instructions. Afterwards, she usually has a follow-up Zoom class a week or two later for students to share their now-dry projects.}
