Japanese Paper Felted Pot
COURSE FULL

Japanese paper has special qualities that mean that it stands up to the felting process when Western style papers just disintegrate, making it a perfect medium for making beautiful felted objects. Using a straightforward process of wet felt making, create a little Japanese inspired blue and white felt pot.

You will learn the basics of 3D wet feltmaking and will complete a decorated felt pot to take home.  Our tutor puts glass test tubes into hers to turn them into vases, or keep it as a lovely ornament.

Suitable for complete beginners or those who already enjoy experimenting with felting processes

All materials included in the workshop fee.

Introduction to Bookbinding

Spend a day learning the basics of bookbinding from scratch. You will learn about paper, folding, sewing and covering three different single section notebooks with decorative papers: a soft cover pamphlet, a pamphlet with pockets front and back, and finally making a hard case pamphlet.

With the time left, using your skills learnt, you will design and experiment making your own single section notebook. Please bring any special decorative papers for this project or paper memorabilia to make a special notebook for yourself or as a gift. If you do not have any,
don't worry, there will be plenty of beautiful papers available on the day for you to choose from.

By the end of the day, you will have several completed handmade notebooks to take home.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those wanting to improve their bookbinding skills.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.
