Make a cosy felt cover for your hot water bottle using traditional wet-felting techniques. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to transform soft Aotearoa merino wool into a durable, beautifully textured hottie cover that will keep you warm through winter. You’ll explore layering, felting, and shaping, and leave with a one-of-a-kind piece that’s both functional and comforting. These make thoughtful, heartfelt gifts too.
Bookings are non-refundable. If for any reason (this includes illness, travel delays, and injuries) you need to cancel your workshop, you will receive a refund minus a $30 administration fee. This is provided you contact us at least 14 full days before your booking.
Please see our Cancellation Policy for more details.
