YES! In the past Living Felt has offered felting workshops just west of Austin, TX!
Current health and safety guidelines prevent us from hosting in person classes at this time.
Past classes include needle felting animals and birds, felting pictures, nuno felting a dress, felt coats, nuno felt scarves , felting hats, nuno felt shawls, wet felting over a resist to make felted slippers, cat caves, purses, etc.! We have also included classes for silk dying and eco-printing. Taking a felting workshop is great fun for hands-on learning. See our list of felting workshops below and call us with any questions at all!
Look for our easy 50% deposit and our "lay-a-way" program for multi-day classes! Also, read below on the LF BFF Travel Buddy program to find a roomie and save on lodging and car rental.

FELTING WORKSHOPS:
Living Felt brings talented and
experienced instructors from around the world so that our BFFs (Best Felting
Friends) can enjoy amazing opportunities for learning how to felt in person while also connecting
with others and making new friends. It's no secret, our classes sell out pretty darn fast, and some
end up with wait lists right quick. Due to the popularity, high demand and
limited spaces in these felting workshops, we offer the following the options
for reserving your space in one of our exciting classes to come.
Registration & Tuition
Tuition is payable at the time
of registration. Students may opt to pay in full, or depending on the start
date of the class, students may have the option to select one of our payment
options. Payments other than full pay are to be made with a Credit Card and not with Paypal.
Full Pay: Pay the full price of the class at time of registration. Payment may be made via Credit Card, Paypal, Check or in person with Cash.
Two-Pay: When a class is more than 60-days away, the student can choose the two-pay plan if paying by credit card.
50% will reserve your space in the class. The second payment is automatically billed 30-days later to the credit card used to reserve your space. Your credit card information is secure and is not stored on our system or in our store/office. Once payment is made with your CC, the merchant processor will apply any following payments based on the schedule above without our staff ever seeing your CC number.
Lay-A-Way: When a class is more than 120 days away Lay-a-way may be
offered.
If available this payment plan can be selected if paying by credit card.
If a lay-a-way payment plan is offered for a particular workshop, the
payment increments will divide the total cost of the class into 3 payments.
Payment #1 reserves your space and is considered the deposit.
Payment #2 is will be automatically charged to your credit card 30-days later.
Payment #3 is will be automatically charged to your credit card 30-days after the 2nd payment.
If your initial class reservation was made with Paypal, we will call you to get a CC# for any future installments owed.
Please see our Refund policy below.
Materials
Fees
Fees vary by class. Materials
fees are additional and cover the cost of supplies provided by shop/instructor
and used by individuals for their in-class projects. Students may also be asked
to bring tools and materials of their own to the workshops. Materials Fees to
the shop or instructor are due at the conclusion of the workshop.
Refunds
Due to financial commitments of
bringing teachers from out of town and out of the country, registered students
desiring to withdraw from a class with an out of town instructor must do
so no later than 60-days before the first class to receive a refund less 10%. For
classes by in-house instructors, withdrawal no later than 30-days is required
for refund. If you withdraw past the refund date, and a class is full, we will
try to help fill your seat from the wait list if there is one. If we are able
to fill your seat, a full refund will be granted. There are no make-ups,
refunds or credits for missing a regularly scheduled workshops.
Wait
List
If a class is full, it will say
"on back order". In that event, please email or call us to be placed
on a waiting list. We encourage you to get on the wait list if your chosen
class is full. When an opening comes available, the first person on the list
will be notified and will have 24 hours to respond. After that time, the seat
will be offered to the next person on the list, and so on. It has happened that
the 6th person on the list ends up being the one to attend, so do not be
discouraged...keep the faith ;)
Cancellations
If a class is canceled, you
will be notified approximately 30-60 days before class begins or sooner
whenever possible, and tuition will be refunded. When possible, classes not
held due to bad weather or instructor absence will be rescheduled.
Meals
We order lunch for the entire
group from local restaurants. Please bring cash for lunches. Depending on what
you order, average spend is $5-$10 per person. You may bring your own lunch and
snacks to workshops if desired. We also have healthy restaurants and a major
grocery store nearby. We provide coffee, tea, water, sparkling water and light
snacks to all of our guests at no charge.
