Local artist Ulrieke Benner is hosting a hands-on workshop on Sunday, March 29, 2026, where Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, residents can learn to make their own wool felted seat pads. The event will run from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm at the artist’s studio.
Participants will use traditional textile methods to create functional cushions from wool. Benner has worked as a textile artist and educator on the island since 2001, specializing in creating art using wool and silk.
According to the Salt Spring Exchange, the session provides a creative activity for the community. The workshop focuses on manual skills that help support the island’s reputation for professional, locally-made crafts.
