Which of these resonates most with you?

I’m exploring on my own.

I’ve just recently learnt about wet felting, and I’m only starting to understand what it is and how it’s done. Right now, I’m going down the rabbit hole and exploring the craft on my own.

I'd love to develop my own style.

I’ve been felting for years, and I’ve reached a plateau. I’d really love to develop my own signature style, so that people would recognize my work straight away. I’d also love to felt pieces with a more professional finishing.

I’m looking for new projects.

I’ve been learning and experimenting with wet felting for a couple of years, and I’m always looking for new projects that can help me expand my creativity, as well as the technical side of the craft.

Hi! I’m Vanda Sousa, a wet felting artist and educator. I've been wet felting for over 2 decades now.

Being a self-taught felter with about 15 years of teaching experience has lead me to create my own teaching system, based on what I've learnt with experimentation and on the challenges of my students.

My approach combines technical depth with creative freedom, helping you master the details so you can create felt work that’s truly your own.

Kind words

“You are a supportive and generous teacher. I see your tendency to strive to give us the clearest and best as such a terrific quality. You have something special so thanks for offering this to us. I’m very happy with the skills and the new hats and the confidence to make more. Which I will. The folks in this class have been supportive and fun. A great class. Thank you!”

Kathryn Barron

“I really enjoyed this workshop. I don't have much experience with 3D shapes so this was a greta way to learn about shape and composition of various shapes based on the circle. Once again your videos and written information were well produced and easy to follow. These new techniques could be used for so many other projects. Thanks again for a very professional workshop.”

Stephanie Gaston

“I wanted to learn how to get past the "amateurs'" level of hat making. Even if I am only giving as gifts I want to be proud of the hat, so this is a great class to refine my skills. The embellishments are a huge plus since I think they will help enhance the value. You are teaching something that not many others are and doing it well.”

Sarah Doyle

"Can you see me doing my happy dancing? I have no words to express how happy I am with the result! What an amazing course! It is so challenging and so rewarding. I have learned so much. I have millions of ideas how to use it forward in other projects! Vanda you are amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Caroline Noach

“I'm so happy about what I've learnt from the baby course so far!!! I was afraid of not being able to understand since it is an online recorded class, but I have really enjoyed it! I can feel your teacher expertise in this wool matter by the themes and question I might have asked, which you addressed in the video and your complete explanation! It's all very clear. I can't wait to try the baby jackets!!!”

Sara Tombolato

“What fun! I had never used a book resist. I can see the appeal. I learned so much. Many thanks for a great course - clear instructions, good videos. Cheers!”
