After last year's success, Fun with Felt is BACK! Join us for a cosy and therapeutic evening of felt-making with Creatopia! Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a complete beginner, this workshop is designed to introduce you to the fascinating world of felting. With a large variety of colours and templates to choose from, you can create a mini felty figure to take away … animals, love hearts, and mushrooms are popular projects for this session. This event is co-hosted by the Students' Union and the Creatopia team.

This event will consist of 2 separate sessions, and both will begin with instructions for how to do the activity. Please ensure you arrive on time for your slot so you have enough time to finish your craft. If you are late, you can still join in and be instructed on how to felt, but you will still have to leave at the end of your slot, and there is also no pressure to stay for the entire slot.

Please ensure you bring your ticket with you, or have the name of the booking handy, and attend the correct slot. If you can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing SUcommunity@uwe.ac.uk.

Full instructions available - everything provided.

WHERE TO FIND US:
