Felted Shoes
Felted Shoes
Natalya has developed a new technique for making felted shoes starting with flat felt. If you have taken previous boot classes from Natalya, this class will be different. If you have been hesitant to do a boot class in the past because of how much felting is needed, this class uses flat felt and will be less demanding.
You will use different felt pieces, as well as other fabrics, leather, embroidery, and other materials. You will come with your various materials and pre-felts to finish felting there. The workshop includes shoe construction.
Dates: Three-day workshop - May 30th – June 1st. Starts 9:30 am day 1 & 9:00 am Days 2 & 3
Cost: Three (3) day workshop - $375 + materials fee Limit 10-12 people
