New wet felting program!

My new online program, Exploring Surface Design, is now open for registration until April 6th.

This program grew out of the evolution of The Dodo Hub into three shorter, more focused trainings. And this one is dedicated entirely to surface design.

If you’ve ever felt that your surfaces could be more intentional… more refined… more yours—this is where that work begins.

What will you be able to do after this program?

• Create clean, even, refined felt, with strong edges and intentional thickness
• Work with greater precision and control, with a clear understanding of what’s happening at each stage
• Use pre-felt confidently to build complex, layered surfaces
• Design your own surface patterns, scale them effectively, and apply them to both flat and 3D forms
• Make better material choices based on how different fibers, wool types, and formats behave
• Build harmonious palettes and control color in your work, avoiding unwanted fiber migration and muddy results
• Explore and create woven designs on both flat and 3D felt
• Add texture and three-dimensional structures through layering, relief techniques, and surface manipulation
• Combine nuno felting techniques and fabric manipulation to expand your creative possibilities

Exploring Surface Design is a guided, step-by-step video program to help you develop your surface design skills with depth and intention.

• Duration: 5 months
• Support: Live group calls + 1 year of support via comments and email

The modules

The program is structured in progressive modules, each focusing on a different approach to surface design:

Module 1 — Patchwork Felt (April 6th)
Build precision and control while learning to create clean, well-constructed surfaces

Module 2 — Woven Felt (May 6th)
Explore woven structures and understand how pattern, color, and construction interact

Module 3 — Relief Felt (June 6th)
Add depth and dimension through layering, encapsulation, and surface development

Module 4 — Felt Manipulation (July 6th)
Discover how folding, stitching, and fabric integration can transform your surfaces

Module 5 — Your Signature Project (August 6th)
Bring everything together to design and create a piece that reflects your own voice
