This is a gentle way of felting. Well suited for people who need to be careful with their hands.
You will learn to make thin pre-felt which is processed with special techniques. The lessons are extensive and in-depth. You can then also apply the techniques in other work. You will be introduced to non-obvious ways of laying and to a process that I call the cat. Are you curious yet?
