Learn to felt with Mallorcan wool

with Llanatura

Upon stepping into Llanatura, you immediately realize this is a workspace in action. Become part of Llanatura’s team of artisans, transforming recycled wool into beautiful textiles. Set in a reformed historic shoe factory, founders Eugenia Marcote and Gemma Salvador invite you to learn the art of felting. At the end of the workshop, you will leave with a personalised souvenir that doubles as a meaningful symbol of Llanatura’s sustainable and socially responsible mission.

Llanatura is a combination of three words in Mallorcan: llana (wool) + natura (nature) + atura (stop). Their name represents the non-profit’s triple impact mission for economic, environmental, and social change. Immerse yourself in Llanatura’s collaborative work-space, contributing to their community-based, circular initiative to end the unsustainable production and consumption of wool.

In this two and a half hour workshop you will learn the fibre arts technique of felting, meshing your unique designs onto a blank wool textile. Under the guidance of Gemma and Eugenia – you will start class by touring their industrial fábrica (factory), discovering the multiple stations and steps needed to create your own unique textile. Using a needle, you will then create your felted drawing. Using their showroom as inspiration, Gemma and Eugenia will demonstrate the versatility of your design, inspiring you to then take your work home to hang up, sew into a pencil case, or make a personalized brush bag.
