🧶 WOOL & WELLNESS
Sauna Hat Workshop at SAUNA YOKU
Saturday 4th April | 1:30pm | 2.5 hours
An afternoon of social crafting, slow creativity, and deep heat.
Join us for a hands-on felted sauna hat workshop with Mati, followed by a relaxing sauna session at Sauna Yoku. Using traditional sheep's wool felting techniques, you'll design and create your own sauna hat. No sewing, no experience needed, just warm hands and a curious mind.
✨What you'll do:
Learn the ancient art of wool felting
Blend colours and shape a 3D design
Create your own personalised sauna hat
Unwind with a post-workshop sauna session
🧠 Why sauna hats?
Traditionally used in Finnish saunas and Russian banyas, felted sauna hats help regulate temperature, prevent the head from overheating, protect hair from heat damage, and allow you to enjoy longer, more comfortable sauna sessions.
⏳ How it works:
Felting is a slow, tactile process. During the 1.5-hour workshop you'll design and begin felting your hat. Mati will complete the final felting process for you, and your finished hat will be ready to collect from the same location one week later. Followed by an hours sauna and wild swimming experience.
🧵 About Mati:
Mati has previously run needle felting workshops with Brighton Arts Social Club and brings a thoughtful, relaxed approach to traditional craft. This workshop has been specially adapted for sauna hat making.
A cosy blend of craft, community, and heat.
Come for the wool, stay for the warmth.
