The workshop in detail

  • 5d
  • 2 to 4 participants
  • 15 years min.
  • This training workshop will take place over 5 sessions of 2.5 hours. Meet on the same day, at the same time over 5 consecutive weeks. 

    In order to fully learn how to work with wool, Stefanie will welcome you over several sessions. Each session will be dedicated to the introduction and practical application of the different stages of wool processing.

    - Session 1: starting with the fleece, washing it and selecting the best fibres

    - Session 2: carding the fibres to untangle and aerate them 

    - Session 3: spinning the wool with a spinning wheel and by hand 

    - Session 4: dyeing the wool with natural dye 

    The last session will be dedicated to the creation of a unique piece. You will select the wool of your choice. The wool used comes from Stefanie's parents' blacknose sheep farm. You will learn how to apply the felting techniques (needle felting or wet felting) to create your own creation. 

    All the material is provided to offer you a complete training with a passionate wool worker from A to Z! 

    You will leave this workshop with your own creation!

    Meet Stefanie

    Felt Specialist

    Stefanie's passion and artistic practice is closely linked to the history of her favourite material: the wool of her family's Blacknose sheep in Switzerland! As a by-product of sheep breeding, Stefanie is interested in wool and is passionate about her work!

    The artisan felt-maker has studied and worked with textiles from every angle. She has worked as a stylist for major luxury houses such as Balenciaga, Akris and Hermès, where she also developed her embroidery skills. 

    It was during a 6-month artist residency in Mexico that she became interested in felting and natural dyeing, her two current loves! She perfected her art there and once back in Belgium. 

    Committed and passionate, Stefanie started both the artistic creation of felted wool and the organisation of workshops to share her passion and allow the curious to discover the ancestral work of wool!

    Très bel atelier. Stefanie partage volontiers son savoir-faire. Les explications sont claires et on expérimente à chaque étape du processus. C'est aussi très sympa de repartir avec ce qu'on a réalisé !
