Wet Felting

Saturday 14th November, 1 - 4pm
11 Hopper Street

Have you been curious about what it takes to turn wool into felt? This workshop is all about learning the process of wet felting while making something that is useful to you! Bring any object (smaller than a laptop please) that you’re keen to make a 2D cover for, and we’ll learn how to size and cut patterns, then wet felt with natural coloured wool and some optional colourful accents. Dream big: e-readers, sunglasses, small musical instruments etc. Mo will also have patterns available for felting oven mitts and hottie covers.

Come prepared for a wee arm workout and please bring a bath towel, an object to make a cover for (optional), and bag to take home wet things!

Monica/Mo Dix is an interdisciplinary folk artist passionate about gathering to create things alongside each other, for our spaces and our communities. An immigrant to Aotearoa from Minowaking, Turtle Island (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA) with ancestors from eastern Europe, their workshops draw on blending these identities with craft traditions from Aotearoa to cultivate joy, connection and care to face uncertain futures.

A portion of all generous tier tickets go towards free workshops for community organisations like the Wellington Women's House.
