Over three sessions we will design and create a pair of fabulous felt slippers!
Session One
We will look at design ideas and how to lay down the wool fibres. We will then build layers of colourful wool fibres, in a systematic way, to make slippers around lasts. Next we will felt them with warm water, soap and friction. In this session we will make the left slipper.
Session Two
Using the skills developed in session one, we will use this session to create the right slipper.
Session Three
In the final session, discover how to achieve different styles before removing the slippers from the lasts. Next we will cut, stitch, and sew on leather soles, and there will be options of other finishing touches to achieve a professional look
