Márti Csille: Doorsill guardian
… for cheerfulness at the entrance and to keep evil away.
Márti’s threshold guardian is the modern version of the traditional tumars, which is an amulet-like embroidered felt to keep evil away and is hung in the entrance area of the yurt.
You’ll learn to felt a home ornament composed of different pieces, beautifully decorated with felted-in fancy yarns, glass nuggets and embroidery.
Lines and dots can be worked out three-dimensionally, in relief, little things you bring with you, bells can be sewn on or felted in and you will go home with a poetically fine structure for your home. (…and you will not be able to save yourself from the inner desire to felt a doorsill guard for your beloved as well).

Csille Márti
Gabriella Kovács: Cozy bag for "lazy" felters
… great design from needlefelt without much fiddling with the fiber laying.
Dreamy felt watercolor on small bags and cases felted exclusively from needle fleece.
A charming technique for “lazy” felters who would rather use the time spent laying out fibers for something else, because laying out tufts of wool is not necessary here.
(According to Gabi, cases are more likely to be completely finished in one day, but maybe you’re the nimble felter and go home with a shoulder bag).

Gabriella Kovács
Nadia Szabó: Nuno scarf in mosaic glass window design
… with many different colored “glass parts”.
How do you puzzle together all those different colored pieces of fabric, connect them with wool and then roll them without the whole thing falling apart halfway through?
Nadia tells you the secret, with which you can make it even with trembling hands. Hard lines or curly patterns, monochrome or in many colors, think already how yours should look like.

Bea Németh: Pillow...
… between tradition and modernity. With an unexpected step…
You may already think how these pillows were felted.
But there will be a surprise in the course that you definitely don’t expect….
Apart from that, you can learn more about traditional patterns, learn how to make rope and practice working freely without much thinking.
In addition, laughter is guaranteed in the course with Bea.

The place: Nagybörzsöny
Welcome to the cute little village at the foot of the Börzsöny Mountains, only an hour away from the capital. The biggest noise is caused by the birds and the babbling of the small brook. Besides the pure nature, historical monuments guard the history of the village, where gold and silver mining took place in the Middle Ages: the Gothic and Romanesque churches, the water mill, the residence of the former mine manager, small memorials in the village center.
Felt and rest and enjoy the slow life.
Gastronomically, the local wines, cheeses, smoked, dried and the chutneys and marmalade will turn your head.
The local pit cutter and wood lace carver, the ladies who make dried fruit and gingerbread are also happy to have us visit.
Optional for family members:
A beautiful, small fishing lake awaits everyone at the edge of the village in a valley.
Easier and steeper hiking trails run in the area, bring your family.
