Beetle Felt provides creative and artistic opportunities using textiles, particularly felt, as a medium. Beetle Felt also runs a small gallery shop selling high quality hand made textile products.
Exciting textile techniques are taught at the Beetle Felt studio, in Chorlton, Manchester, where there is an ongoing programme of exciting one-day workshops. Techniques taught include feltmaking, weaving, spinning and dyeing. You can come along and learn a new skill in a relaxed and friendly environment.
The wide range of workshops are also available off site, for all ages and for schools. Having a party...how about an "Arty Party" and hire us to provide the creative entertainment?
Carol Mowl is the founder and main tutor of Beetle Felt, she is a quailified teacher, textile artist and member of the International Feltmakers Association. As well as running workshops she produces and sells one-off hand made products. She designs and makes the felt for her products using innovative and unusual felt making techniques. She is particularly interested in inventing new and exciting felt that utilises the unique qualities of wool. Each piece is individually made with particular attention to detail so that you can be sure that each Beetle Felt item is the only one of its kind. (Look in the gallery for the range of products available.)
