This workshop focuses on the art of felting with raw wool. You will become acquainted with various felting techniques, using natural materials such as pure wool and Marseille soap.

You will learn how to transform raw wool and create patterns and textures, using only wool and soap and your hands!

You will work with colorful materials in a fun, relaxed and creative way and leave with newly learned skills and your own unique object.

The workshop is taught by Salomé and Mimouna, who have been working together for years in various textile forms such as embroidery, weaving and felting. They are passionate about sharing their knowledge with people from all backgrounds. Their art is exhibited at home and abroad.

Salomé Grdzelischvili is an artist who works with natural and dyed wool. She can make almost anything related to textiles from this organic, pure and natural substance: carpets, decorations, jewelry. She learned the technique of felting and weaving carpets in her native Georgia. Her practice gives life to figurative textile creations – often based on iconographic images from art history – and abstract creations. She organizes workshops for adults and children on the practice of felting.

This workshop is made possible by Erfgoedcel Brussel.
