A weekend residential workshop exploring feltmaking techniques
2009 Residential Felt Workshop Weekend October 2-4 Friday to Sunday
Mixed Media Feltmaking
Residential Feltmakers Weekend with Jenny Pepper
and Guest Tutor Jackie Lunn
Friday 2 October to Sunday 4th at Cober Hill
Centre for Refreshment and Inspiration
near Scarborough, North Yorkshire
Following the success of our 2007 retreat at Cober Hill I am happy to announce we will be running a weekend in 2009. The theme will be Mixed Media Feltmaking. We all lead busy lives and the luxury of time to spend on feltmaking and experimenting with different techniques is precious. This weekend we will indulge in experimenting with techniques culminating in a finished work on Sunday.
Briefly:
Saturday morning we will help you develop your ideas and we will cover different methods of feltmaking to suit your choice, whether that be sculptural, Nuno for scarves and wraps or functional. Learn to make 3 dimensional hollow vessels, simple elegant forms or freaky adventurous shapes. Incorporate fibres, fabrics, found objects, stitch, beads and buttons.
Sunday morning we will be stitching, embroidering and adorning the finished felt work.
After lunch we will return to the work room for the final time and share our work and say our goodbyes.
I hope this is sufficient to give a taste of the weekend, most of all we hope to have fun in the company of like minded people whilst creating a wonderful piece (or pieces) of felt work.
£225 including all accommodation, meals, refreshments, materials and equipment. All deposits required by 30th March 2009.

Having previously stayed at Cober Hill we can confirm from personal experience this is a wonderful venue. There are very traditional original main communal rooms and modern light comfortable en-suite bedrooms. The price includes a private en-suite bedroom, however if you would like to share with a friend this is possible. The views are lovely and it is surrounded by garden, very relaxing. The workshop is large and spacious with water and sink next door. All diets are catered for and whatever your choice, the food is plentiful and tasty. Breakfast is buffet service, lunch and dinner are waitress service. Wine can be purchased with the evening meal. There are coffee and tea facilities next to the workroom and in your bedroom freely available all day. Any questions please ask.
To book a place please email for a booking form. £50 non-refundable deposit is required. There are a maximum of 14 places available. Balance payable by 31st July.
Rail transport would be to Scarborough station and we can collect from the station or a taxi would be about 20 mins.
Ample on site parking.
