EXAMPLE OF MASTER CLASS - AUTUMN CLASS

QUARTERLY MASTER CLASSES

Every 3 months, Complete members are invited to a new Creative Masterclass. The topic is chosen together with the community, so we focus on what you truly want to learn and achieve next.

Each masterclass is optional to join live — and designed to be enjoyed at your own pace. You’ll explore key techniques through simple samples, then bring everything together in a guided project such as felted garments, pattern-building, surface design, or sculptural work. You can ask questions along the way and receive supportive feedback to help you grow in confidence.
All historical master classes are part of the Complete membership library.

Create Embellishments from Leftovers

Create Embellishments from Leftovers

Take a fresh look at what you already have: yarns, small pieces of felt, pre-felt offcuts, silk scraps, and fibres left over from previous projects. In this class, you’ll learn how to turn these “bits and pieces” into beautiful embellishments — and you can even experiment with unusual materials for extra texture and character.

Hat and Matching Neck Warmer

Hat and Matching Neck Warmer

I always encourage my students to make samples before starting a larger project. In this class, you can revisit your existing samples — or transform the samples you create during the lesson — into a coordinated hat and neck warmer. This is an invitation to experiment, design, and dream, turning your ideas into unique, wearable accessories that truly reflect your personal style.

Wild Berry Petal Wrap

Wild Berry Petal Wrap

I always encourage my students not to throw away any felt they create. Sometimes a piece doesn’t quite “click” — and that’s the perfect opportunity to give it a new life. In this project, we’ll dream, design, and transform leftover felt into a truly unusual scarf or shawl, full of texture, colour, and personality.

Mosaic Tunic / Japanese Apron

Mosaic Tunic / Japanese Apron

A simple and satisfying way to create a beautiful tunic or Japanese-style apron. The pattern is provided, making this a perfect first garment project if you’re ready to start creating wearable felt with confidence.

The Easy Cape Sweater

The Easy Cape Sweater

This 3/4 sleeve wrap sweater is a beautiful upcycled project, created by bringing together felt samples and earlier pieces that didn’t quite “click.” A perfect example of how “unfinished” work can become something truly special and wearable.

Crochet & Knitting Meets Felt

Crochet & Knitting Meets Felt

This project is a perfect opportunity to combine felting with other textile skills — or to learn something new. Create a sweater or top in a style you love, blending felt with crochet or knitting. Step-by-step video lessons and patterns are provided, allowing you to work at your own pace and make the design truly your own.

Felting Connections – At the Heart of Our Community

Felting Connections is very close to my heart, and it represents the core ethos of the Felt With Lena community. My aim has always been to make feltmaking education accessible and affordable, while creating a space where people can learn, grow, and genuinely connect with one another. I’ve seen beautiful things happen when people come together. Sarah joined the club as a complete beginner and discovered that she lived not far from Omi, a highly experienced feltmaker and teacher. Through the community, they connected, and Sarah gained the confidence and opportunity to attend Omi’s workshops. With encouragement from the group and fellow feltmakers, Diane went on to deliver her very first workshops. Omi found new inspiration and ideas for creative sessions with children, and Mary gained the courage to apply for her first craft fair. Lorelei started her feltmaking business and is now successfully selling her designs. These are just a few examples of what Felting Connections is about — learning together, supporting one another, and growing in confidence, creativity, and friendship. There are many stories like these inside the membership, and each one reminds me why this community matters so much.

Supporting Feltmakers at Every Stage, Around the World

Our members grow their skills and confidence by learning feltmaking through Lena’s clear, structured approach and supportive community.
Here are just a few of their stories.

Lena brings enthusiasm and knowledge

It has been a pleasure to be a member of the Felt with Lena Club. Lena brings enthusiasm and knowledge, resulting in wanting more and more from her. Her style is engaging, and she does a great job breaking down the felting process. At last, we have a virtual forum to meet, ask questions, and share our successes and failures.

There is a wealth of information

Lena, you inspire and encourage us perfectly. Your advice and videos are great. I think the zoom meetings are also very good. There is a wealth of information in your library and it is certainly worth the subscription.

My membership in your Felting club has been a lifesaver.

My membership in your Felting club has been a lifesaver. With all of my in person classes being shut down due to COVID, I was able to continue my Felting journey. I have learned so much from you over the past few years. You have been so generous with your time. Zoom meetings have allowed us to discuss our successes, failures and more importantly lessons learned.

Introducing to new ways of felting

This has been a great chance to workshop with a very experienced and innovative felter without the high fees and pressure of travelling all over the country to gain experience in different practices. Dear Lena, you have given me some wonderful ideas and introduced me to some new ways of felting which given my shoulder and wrist problems have enabled me to keep going for now.

Enjoying being part of the feltmaking community

I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed being part of the felting club this past year and taking part in the projects- I’ve learned so much! thank you for all your dedication to sharing your ideas and skills with us. I really love being part of the community you’ve created too!

I have the chance to learn an incredible amount

I discovered a class that led to the founding of a felting club. Here, with access to more than 50 online classes, I have the chance to learn an incredible amount. But not only that, I am also part of an international community with the same interests. A closed Facebook group, group projects and challenges, professional discussions and regular Zoom meetings with members from all over the world opened up the world of felting to me. Apart from the fact that we also have a lot of fun in the zoom meetings

The membership includes a growing library of pre-recorded classes, along with ongoing support. You can ask questions inside each class, and you’ll be supported in your feltmaking practice with guidance and encouragement throughout your journey.

People join Felt With Lena Membership for different reasons, but most come to learn new feltmaking techniques and gain confidence in their skills.

Over time, many members become more confident in their creative decisions and in their feltmaking practice. I’ve seen members grow from feeling unsure to creating work they’re truly proud of. Some members have gone on to sell their felted pieces, while others have felt confident enough to run their own workshops.

Every journey is different, but what remains consistent is the support, encouragement, and guidance inside the membership. I actively support and encourage all members, and the community itself includes people with a wide range of experience who are always happy to help, share knowledge, and celebrate each other’s progress.

This membership isn’t just about learning techniques — it’s about building confidence, finding your creative voice, and growing at your own pace in a supportive environment.

MEET FELTMAKER, TEACHER & CREATIVE COMPANION

LENA ARCHBOLD

Lena Archbold is a feltmaker, textile artist, and teacher. She was born in Ukraine and is now living and creating in the North East of England, where she designs one-of-a-kind wearable art using wool, silk, and a wide range of natural fibres. Her creative journey began with garment making, knitting, crochet, and sewing, before she discovered the magical world of feltmaking.

Lena discovered feltmaking in 2011, during one of the most challenging times of her life, while battling a blood cancer. Felting became a source of healing, focus, and strength — a way of “painting with wool” that offered both creative freedom and deep calm. What began as a personal lifeline grew into a lifelong passion and a way to support others on their own creative journeys.

Lena has been teaching feltmaking since 2012 and has been teaching online since 2018 through her school Felt With Lena. In November 2022, she launched the Felt With Lena Membership, creating a supportive global community where people of all experience levels learn new techniques, build confidence, and grow together in a kind, encouraging environment.
