Today I'd like to talk to you about my new wet felting program. It's open for registration for another couple of days.

I created it for advanced beginners or intermediate felt makers:

• If you're feeling like you'd like to make progress, but you don't know how
• If you'd like to improve the quality

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 mo...

In the last couple of weeks, we’ve been talking about pre-felts. Today, I’m continuing this series on pre-felts and I’d like to answer some questions that I got about the topic. 

Here are the questions I’m answering in this video: 

• I am very curious about pre-felts, especially as a new wet felte

Learning to properly work with pre-felts is one of the best things you can do to take your wet felting to the next level, since they can be used for so many things from surface patterns to 3D felt. 

Last week we had a look at the differences between handmade and commercial pre-felts. And this week ...

Let’s talk about pre-felts. 

A pre-felt is simply a partially felted piece of wool felt. In other words, it’s simply a stage in the wet felting process. 

This means that a pre-felt can be further felted. And that’s precisely why pre-felts are so interesting. 

That means that you can add them to y...

Did you know that it’s possible to wet felt without soap? It’s not very common. Most felt makers use soap to felt, but there are some who don’t.

Because I’m curious and I like to test everything, I decided to make a small sample to see how it works. You never know. Sometimes you do something in a c...

Wet felting contributes to our well-being and it can even be therapeutic. It’s been used in the Waldorf method for a long time to cultivate the connection to Nature through a natural material, to engage the senses, develop fine motor skills, concentration and creativity in children.

If you’ve been ...

We’ve started a little tradition in The Dodo Hub: once a month we hop online and felt together. Lately, the challenge has been about the circle. We grab a round resist, and experiment with the techniques from the program.

You can felt anything you’d like to try, as long as you start with that circl...

I’ve spent years felting berets and trying to get them to be soft and wearable. Along the way, I tested materials, methods, and fiber ratios until I found what I was looking for. 

The course FELTING SOFT HATS – THE BERET distills those experiments, based on trial and error, into a clear, practical ...

If you’ve ever wet felted a beret, you might relate to this frustration: no matter how thinly you lay out your wool, the result turns out too stiff; even with fine merino, the beret never really drapes the way you want.

I know, because I went through the same thing for years.

That got me into a lo...

Today, I want to talk to you about something that makes felt makers a little bit nervous: the S word. SAMPLES! 

While I know most of us would do anything to avoid making samples before we felt a piece, I’m – once again – going to try to persuade you to make them. 

Now, when we talk about making sa...
