Workshop: Felted hat

A hands-on workshop where you’ll create your own felted wool hat – perfect for the sauna or as a unique everyday accessory.

Sauna hats are traditionally worn to protect the head from intense heat, keeping the temperature comfortable and preventing overheating. The same techniques can be adapted to make a stylish, lightweight hat for wearable art.

We’ll work with natural wool fibres, warm water, soap, and our hands – a slow, tactile process that is creative, grounding and relaxing You’ll be guided step by step, from laying out the fibres over a resist, to shaping and finishing your hat, with plenty of room to personalise it through colour, texture and even an extra embellishment.

No previous felting experience is needed. This workshop is suitable for beginners as well…
