Education: Online Felting Class with the IFA

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

The International Feltmakers Association (IFA) offers online workshops through the Discovering Feltmaking series, designed to help feltmakers, both new and experienced, understand the process of making wet felt.

  • Part 1- Discovering Feltmaking
  • Part 2 – Using Colour
  • Part 3 – Surfaces and Edges
  • Part 4 – 3D Felt

Each course focuses on a different aspect of feltmaking and gives ample opportunity for practice and experimentation.

For example, if you want to learn about colour mixing, surface design, getting exciting edges, 3D felting, and shrinkage rates for different breeds? All these topics, plus much more, are covered in the courses.

Each course pays particular attention to the quality of the finished felt. All are fully supported by mentors, who check in twice daily with the students to offer advice and encouragement.
The courses also offer great value for money, and you will have unlimited access to the material.

Feltmakers Ireland guild member Hélène Dooley will assist with Parts 2 and 3.
