In this workshop you learn wet-felting by making a small faux sheepskin without using any real skin. Felted wool is made with water, soap and carded wool, and here you work with the wool on the back of pieces of hamme (one hamme is a whole fleece cut off in one piece) to get a surface that looks like sheepskin on one side and is felted on the other.
The workshop covers the basics of wet-felting and working with raw wool, and the Hedestrik project will be introduced, including its focus on Nordic wool that often goes unused as a by-product for Nordic sheep farmers, and on wool from a climate perspective. You will leave with a small seat cushion or piece you can take on trips or put on your favourite chair. No experience is needed.
