Boots and bags, a stunning pair, a masterclass for experienced felters

Teacher Natalya Brashovetska

19-26 September 2021

In just a couple of days Natalya Brashetskovaya will guide and supervise you making your own pair of boots. These are perfectly wearable boots, with rubber soles, reinforced heel inserts, hook, eyes and eyelets, beautiful as well the snit as the design, warm and cuddly.  In the time your boots will have to dry for further elaboration, you will make a matching or, if you prefer, a not matching bag. With this accessory you will have a perfect match.

Natalya developed herself from a hobby felter to a worldwide appreciated felt artist and shoemaker.  She is happy to share her experience and knowledge, she teaches and has exhibitions all over the world. During a month after closure of the workshop she will stay available for after care. Quality is her great strength.*

You can fully focus on your felting, the team of alsettimocielo will take care of you with delicious food and drinks. After a day of hard working you will get a stupendous meal with divine dishes and local wine. Your sleep in the peace and quiet of the site will be deep and refreshing.

On the property you can find many splendid spots to relax, read ad a book, do some yoga, tai chi or whatever kind of fitness, play a game of 'jeu-de-boules' or just enjoy the views, the plants, the sounds and the smells. You can also find refreshment and relaxation in the natural swimming pond, which is a real benefit for your skin and your mind. No bleach, no salt, plants in a separate but communicating part of the pond purify the water. So you don't have to be afraid for plants in between your toes. At the most you may have a frog as company.
