About Adult Workshop: Felted Basket
Join felt maker and artist Natalia Kerr for an all-day creative workshop for adults at the National Museum of Rural Life.
Make a felted basket to take home in this relaxed, friendly workshop and enjoy some time to make your very own felted creations. During the workshop, Natalia will show you how to make beautiful, hand-crafted baskets using locally sourced Scottish wool.
Felt is an incredibly versatile material that can be used to make a wide range of beautiful and practical items. This workshop is perfect for beginners and provides a great introduction to felt-making, giving you the skills and confidence to continue creating your own felt projects at home.
Natalia Kerr is an artist and felt maker based in Ayrshire. Her work reflects a strong commitment to sustainability, traditional craftsmanship, and the use of natural materials.
