Discover the art of wet felting and create your own hat with Jo from Jamb Hats and Millinery. This one-day workshop offers the chance to learn the art of wet felting, creating a simple flower broach and a cloche, concertina or small brimmed hat using Australian fine merino wool. As a past student under Jo, the workshop promises to be fun and inviting with guidance and support throughout the day. There is plenty of time to engage with your creative inner self, share stories with others and inspire eachother.​​​​
