If you use a sander for wet felting, you're probably placing it on the fiber not longer than 10 to 15 seconds. Am I right?
But have you ever wondered why? And what would actually happen if you left it on for longer?
I had the same question, and so did one of my students. I confess I’ve only bee...
Last week, we had a look at the reasons why a sander can be such a useful tool for wet felting, especially for nuno felting and embellishing with viscose fiber. We also spoke about what to look for when choosing one.
This week, we get into the issue that makes most felt makers nervous: how to pr...
Nervous about mixing water and electricity? I was too!
I've been wet felting for a long time, but it took me until three years ago to finally try working with a sander. And honestly? I wish I hadn't waited so long.
Is it worth it?
Not for every project. But for nuno felting and felting with vi...
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'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...

This is a question I know you’re asking yourself: Is the Baby Special Edition worth it?
That’s, of course, something only you can decide. But skimming through the class description will only give you a general idea. So, I’ve made a video to show you exactly what’s inside the “baby package”.
It’s ...
Today I’m bringing you something special, the Baby Special Edition.
Usually, you can only get these classes separately.
Now, for a limited time, I’m combining the Sweet Baby Jacket & Daisy Baby Hat with the Comfy Baby Booties & Tiny Baby Mittens in one package. In other words, you get 2 for the pr...
So you had a look at the program, and now you’re thinking “Yes, one technique a month. But what do we really felt inside THE DODO HUB?”
I get that it may not be totally clear to you, so let me help you with that.
First, above there's a short video of some of the beautiful pieces made by the partic...

Are you new to the DODO world, and not sure what THE DODO HUB is?
- It’s a comprehensive year-long program designed to take you from the intermediate level to an advanced and independent ...
As you know, garments are among the most difficult items to felt. Correctly calculating the shrinkage rate for such big pieces and guaranteeing the clothes will fit the wearer aren’t easy tasks and require precise work.
So, every felt maker realizes it takes a lot of expertise (and I’d even say som...
I’m working on a new class that is meant to help felt makers go all the way (smoothly) from total beginner to intermediate. If you’ve recently started wet felting or you’ve been felting for a while, but still feel like there are many gaps in your knowledge, this may be for you.
But I’ll need some t...
