Felt Flower Making

Explore a world of color, texture, and creativity in this flower-making workshop inspired by Alison Kaplan’s own dye garden. Alison’s commitment to sustainability and an enchantment with the colors coaxed from plants has brought the Kata Golda color palette to life. The stacks of plant-dyed wool felt on the shelves of her studio inspired these dimensional spring wool felt flowers. Under Alison’s guidance, you will explore creative techniques – from template making and hand-stitching to intentionally embracing asymmetry and negative space. Participants will create unique, one-of-a-kind blossoms that can be worn as brooches, hair clips, or displayed as decorations. There will be an abundant collection of Alison’s sample flowers to explore for inspiration.

In class, you will create multiple felt flowers, with materials provided in abundance so there is no set limit to how many you can make. Each participant will also receive a take-home wool felt flower kit, which includes templates, instructions, and photo inspiration to continue making flowers at home. Alison will demonstrate how to make the most of scraps, showing that nothing goes to waste, and providing techniques and ideas that you can carry forward into your own creative practice.
