Felt hottie covers (Ōtautahi)

- Sunday 8 March: 2pm-5pm
- Saturday 23 May: 10am-1pm

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. Please note

- Please bring 2 towels and a bag, as your felting may still be wet when it’s time to take it home.
- All other materials and tools will be provided
- Food & Drink – Bring a water bottle to keep hydrated, and any food or snacks you may need over the course of the workshop. To observe tikanga, we ask that no food or hot drinks are consumed in the work space, a separate area will be available for breaks.
- This workshop is for adults aged 18 and older, or for young people aged 16–17 who attend with a supervising adult. Please note that if a young person attends, two workshop places must be purchased (one for the young person and one for the accompanying adult). Cancellation

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 at least 14 full days before your booking.

Please see our Cancellation Policy for more details.
