fabulous feltings

Welcome - Croeso! I am the designer and creator at Fabulous Feltings, making unique 'wet' felted art - wraps, drapes, throws and wall hangings. I use the softest of merino wool tops which can be fused with luxurious silk threads and vintage fabrics. Each piece is a one-off and I welcome collaborations to make something especially for you and to match your decor. In addition to my finished pieces I hold full-day wet-felting workshops in my riverside studio where you and a few friends can get creative, learn a new skill, relax and go home with beautiful pieces of your own work. Please contact me for a date to suit you and your companions.

dt craft & design

Making Futures is a social enterprise working with a wide range of groups to improve health, wellbeing, self-esteem & employability through creative arts. Making Futures CIC is the latest addition to the DT Craft & Design family. Debbie has been quietly running Making Futures for several years, teaching and producing training materials, mentoring and working with community groups. As it has now ‘grown up’ we thought it should have its own website so welcome to our new space here on the web. The DT Crafts shop is, of course still very much available, with an ever-increasing range of products (and a need for more storage space!). It’s still just the two of us looking after you so expect the same personalised service and attention to detail here as at the shop. Debbie will still be answering your emails and questions (no ‘bots’ on our sites!), taking workshop and course bookings and discussing your requirements for courses, groups and projects. Speaking of which, we are thrilled to announce that we have joined the Artybird flock and we are delighted to be able to offer two amazing, professional distance learning knitwear design programmes – both accredited by City & Guilds. We’ve produced a short video and prospectuses for each programme which you can find here. And for those of you who may not have met us in person or are new visitors, we’ve done a short video about Debbie and how DT Crafts and Making Futures came about, here. There’s lots more to come, both ‘virtually’ and in person so do bookmark the page and we hope to see you on a course or workshop soon!
