Natasha Smart Textiles Felting Courses

Hello, I’m Natasha Smart, I’m a wet felting artist, teacher and author based on the UK south coast in Devon. I’ve been wet felting for over 15 years and running in-person felting workshops for the last 12. My passion is for creating structural and practical wool felted products, like bags, bowls and lampshades, embellished with my signature seascape-inspired textural patterns. I've developed much of my work using an innovative 3D ball resist felting method, which I regularly teach on my workshops, and in April 2021 I launched my first online course 'Felt Bag on a Ball' using this technique. I love creating new wet felted designs and sharing my felting skills and knowledge with others to help them create beautiful felt items too. To this end, in April 2022 my first book 'Wet Felting' was published by The Crowood Press. I also enjoy developing my own wet felting skills and have been a member of the International Feltmakers Association since 2008.
