During this two-weekend gathering, participants will create a special unique hanging lamp made from natural materials.
Through collaborative work, combining felting and leatherworking techniques, they will craft a lamp body that is not only practical but also serves as an independent decorative object that sets the mood of its surroundings. The upper part of the lamp body is felted from fine-fibred wool, shaped using template techniques. Participants learn the basics of three-dimensional felting while experiencing how soft wool can be transformed into a stable yet airy lamp shade. The felt surface is further enriched with embossing, which creates special textures and patterns. The meeting of natural materials is completed by natural-colored leather attached to the lower edge of the lamp body. The leather is shaped through layering or overlay into an exciting, distinctive detail. Everyone can choose from the offered techniques, and by selecting the felt's color and thickness, we can open further possibilities for playing with light. This way, special and unique pieces can be created according to each participant's individual taste.
