ABOUT THE TUTOR:

Hilly Edwards has been running felt making workshops for over ten years and am a member of the International Felt Makers Association. My own teachers include many well known felt makers from across the world. For as long as I can remember, I have dabbled in textile crafts, and then became hooked on felt making. I find wool and felt fascinating, as there is such an enormous variety of what can be made with it, a huge range of materials available, and many different techniques
