Which  types of wool and other fibers can we use for felting? What kind of products can we make in this technique? What are the advantages of using felt, wool and other natural materials? ​

Workshops for closed groups

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.

​ Workshops of this type are not publicly announced - we do not accept external participants in the group. These types of workshops can be held in the Amuse studio or at your location.
