Summer programIn the summer, we will conduct many workshops, courses, presentations in the Amuse studio ... You are kindly invited to Škofja Loka, Slovenia! Summer options on workshops, courses and presentations: 1 - Make an item of your choice on a specific date There are a few pre-set dates for workshops where you will be able to make a Felt item of your choice, as it was possible every summer. There are a few dates that we will update if necessary (so return to this page several times, where new dates will be published constantly). Small groups will be formed, there will be enough time to create different products. Next one will be on 7th of August. Read more about these workshops below. 2- Workshops for closed groups When several people (friends, relatives, co-workers, etc.) manage to agree on creating the same felt item (it can also be different items whose production requires about the same time), please contact me and we will agree on a date that will suit us all. This workshop will not be made public - we will not accept external participants into the group. Such workshops can be conducted in the Amuse studio or at your location. If you are interested in such a workshop, write to me at [email protected] 3 - Thematic courses Several thematic courses will be proposed without pre-determined dates. The dates of the meetings will be determined with all interested parties of a certain course. The courses will include several meetings (eg three days in a row), where you will systematically and without haste acquire the knowledge of felting for a special technique or more demanding item in a small group (maximum 3 participants) and through several meetings. The first proposed course is to make a simpler piece of clothing in a cobweb technique (e.g. top, tunic). If you are interested in such a workshop, write to me at [email protected] 4 - Individual workshops I will continue to conduct individual workshops. They are intended for an individual participant who wants to learn wet felting, individual felting techniques (or several techniques) or an individual (possibly more demanding) item in depth and adapted to him. The price depends mainly on the duration of the individual workshop, which can be half a day, 1 working day or several days. If you are interested in such a workshop, write to me at [email protected] 5 - Handicraft experiences ‘Handicraft experiences Hands make magic!' In the most picturesque city in Slovenia, we are proud of the thousand-year-old handicraft tradition, which has always gone ‘hand in hand’ with innovations in technology. Every day from Wednesday to Sunday, you can enter the studios of Škofja Loka artisans and attend one of three types of handicraft experiences at uniform prices: 1.5 hour Handicraft workshop; at 11am, 38 euros per person 45 min Creative demonstration; at 5pm; 23 euros per person 20 min Intro visit; at 7pm; for free I will also host all three experiences in the Amuse studio, mostly on Wednesdays. At the handicraft workshop we will make felt soap, at the creative demonstration I will present how to make a cobweb fabric, and during the intro visit we will take a quick walk through the history of the wet felting and get to know contemporary wet felting creations. Get to know other techniques and master craftsmen as well ... Registration is required here: https://www.centerduo.eu/en/handicrafts-experiences/ 6 - VAWAA - vacation with the creator Stay in Škofja Loka a little longer (4 days - 20 hours), in the Amuse studio, dive into the technique of wet felting and create your own piece of clothing in the desired technique.

The currently set dates for this type of workshops are:
In this type of workshop, you choose a product that you make in the technique of wet felting from carded wool with the possibility of adding nettle, silk, viscose, flax, bamboo, hemp and other fibers. You can create a flat felt surface (scarf, rug, placemat ...) or a 3-d product (bag, slippers, hat ...). If it is a more demanding project, you can createthe product in two days time. You can learn the basics of wet felting or make a felt soap, brooch, necklace, handbag, slippers, vessel, nuno scarf, cobweb scarf, pillow cover, book cover, cat cave, piece of clothing, felt picture, hat , beret or other felt product. Read more about possible Amuse workshops in previous posts on this page or in the 'workshops' tab. The groups will be small and despite the fact that everyone in the group may make something different, we will take enough time to take away a lot of new knowledge and a nice and quality felt product. Workshop price: 30 - 100 € depending on the selected project (exceptionally the price may be higher if it is a more demanding, multi-day project) Duration: 1 - 7 hours or even more days (depending on which product you will be felting). Discounts:
