Felting Fun !
It’s a free event to the public. A dancefloor with a difference: it's slippery and wet!
In a joint effort we create a big flat wool sculpture and with the help of the public, we felt the wool fibres into a giant carpet.
Live music will get people moving, exercising and doing serious work, but most important enjoying it!
An activity for the young and not so young, to get active in exercising teamwork and having fun in passing on old crafts and new skills in a fresh way.
It is our aim to use human power and low energy to create the "wool-n-dance" in all weather conditions.
