Wet-felting workshops are starting up once again. Below is a listing for our workshops coming up in the next few weeks. The available quantity indicates how many spaces we have left in each workshop.

Please bring along your own drinks or refreshments from home.

NEW: for Fall 2022 we are NOT requiring participants to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination, though this could easily change by late fall and winter. Masks are entirely your choice. Participants are limited to four so you can be well-distanced.

Advance payment is required for all workshops. This can be done by calling us at the store at toll-free 1-855-236-3829 and providing a Visa or Mastercard or if in-person also by Interac debit. You may of course also register online.

For online orders payment can be made with a credit card (through PayPal) or by E-transfers sent to info@fibregarden.ca but please complete your online order first before sending. The cart will give you a final total including HST.

If you place an online order for a workshop, please include a phone number in your customer profile when you create one on our cart. We may have to contact you at the last minute in the event of unexpected cancellation.

PLEASE NOTE: our policy is that we do not give refunds for cancellations made within two weeks of the workshop date. Cancellation due to weather events is unpredictable, and we generally will try to re-book the workshop at another time or to offer you space in a different workshop when available. We may also provide a refund instead.

Our felting instructor, Chris Liszak, has a Facebook page that features many of our class projects. You will find the link listed in most of our felting workshops. Check it out!
