If there is some time left, everyone will be able to make another product in the same technique.
Cobweb felt is considered to be the thinnest, most translucent and softest woolen fabric created with wet felting. We will use the softest merino wool in the sliver, with the possibility of adding silk, linen, viscose, linen, ramie and other fibers. In any colors, effects and patterns you like.

If you are interested in this course, write to me to [email protected]

Creating in a 'closed' group - when several acquaintances agree to make a certain product (it can also be different products, the production of which requires approximately the same time) and they would like to spend this time in the company of friends, relatives, colleagues, etc.
These workshops are particularly fun and relaxed, as we are surrounded by people we know while creating.

In October, you are warmly invited to two workshops in the Amuse wool studio, in the old town center of Skofja Loka, Slovenia. On Friday, the 18th we will learn how to make a flat felt surface - a sitting mat. The very next day - on Saturday, 19th you will bring home a beautiful soft and thin cobweb scarf. Attending both workshops will give you a unique inside of the range of products that can be made with wet-felting (and of course you will get a discount for attending both).

Wet felting is a relaxing technique and that is why socializing in the Amuse studio is both enjoyable and rewarding :) Groups are small and we always take the time to have a short chat over tea and cookies. You can attend the workshops alone or with a friend, partner, child, etc.

Wetfelting for beginners - sitting mat

Picture

Wet felting for beginners - no prior knowledge of felting needed.

Friday, October 18, 2019, 4pm to 8pm.

The master-felter will guide you through the process of making felt, presenting you with different types of carded wool and other fibers suitable for felting, basic tools and wet felting techniques. You will learn more about the history of wet felting and contemporary felting products.

At the workshop, we are going to use carded wool to felt a sitting mat, without wasting any fibers or cutting any felt (zero waste). We will learn how to make a compact, flat surface of at least four layers of carded wool with the possibility of decorating it with other fibers ... we will learn the proper layering of wool, different laying of fibers according to the desired result, various fibers and materials that can be combined with wool and offer many effects and of course the correct wet felting process.

You lay the sitting mat on the chair or directly on the floor.

Price: 50 eur per person
All the materials are included in the price, you will take the mat home with you.

With the knowledge gained, you will be able to create many different products at home, and the workshop provides a good basis for attending further courses (handbags, scarves, slippers, vessels).

The number of places is limited, applications are mandatory.

Cobweb scarf

You can also visit this extremely popular Amuse workshop even if you are not familiar with wet felting, since the 'cobweb' technique is very different from the basic method of creating felt.

You will make a beautiful scarf for yourself or someone close to you.

Saturday, October 19, 2019:
  • Morning workshop - 9am to 1pm
  • Afternoon workshop - 14pm to 18pm

You will learn about techniques, possible variations, materials and accessories, so that you will be able to reproduce this technique learned at home.

Price: 70 euros per person

Exhibition in Solcava

3/6/2019

Amuse felt clothing exhibition in Solcava, Slovenia

Picture
Location: Rinka Center

Time: 2. - 16. June 2019

Guided tour of the exhibition with the artisan: Sunday, June 16 at 11am. Also in English.

Exhibition in Rinka Center was a part of the prize Anja Musek received as a winner of the 2nd International EX-FILCORE SOLCAVA 2018, Ex tempore creators in felt with the topic 'HERBS'.

In this exhibition artisan Anja Musek presents her clothing collection for the first time. All clothes are handmade in a special technique of wet felting, where she connects the softest merino wool with a great quantity of other natural fibers - silk, viscose, ramie and hemp. A special fiber intertwining and strong shrinkage create metallic shine, wrinkles and other interesting effects on the surface of the felt, which are usually not typical of the basic wet-felting technique.

The presented clothing is thin, light, slightly elastic and comfortable, despite the fact that the felt created is extremely strong. Everything is made in seamless (3-d) technique, therefore all fibers are connected into a unified material without sewing; some garments have zippers etc. that were added to the garments after felting due to functionality. In addition, the clothes were produced completely without cutting, which means no waste of fibers - 'zero-waste'. All of this makes this the most demanding technique of wet-felting.
​

Since each product is unique, master artisan produces most of the clothing 'made to order', according to the client's wishes. Felt clothes are wearable throughout the year, because they will keep us warm in the winter and protect us from heat in the summer. The possibilities for different clothing are endless – in color combinations, design variations, fiber combinations, thickness of felt, etc.
