felting classes + wool supply shop by artist LeBrie Rich.

✸ based in portland, OR ✸

hi, i’m lebrie!

I facilitate spaces where people can experience collective effervescence through hands-on encounters with craft. I have taught felting workshops in Japan, The Netherlands and over 85 public libraries in Oregon. Fun fact: I am known to some as the Duchess of Felt. More about me!

the 2025 update

spreading creativity & play in portland, OR

Greetings friends! Wool felting has been at the center of my work as a handcraft teacher and a sculptor since 2004. My business has evolved (again, and again!) and continues to change… here’s a summary of what I’m up to in 2025:

Teaching classes

I am the felting teacher in residence at Zuckercreme in Portland, where I teach 2-4 workshops per month. My beginner-level classes pretty much always fill - check out my calendar page and sign up in advance to learn to felt with me.

Felt Club

Felt Club is my monthly crafty gathering for experienced felters. Every 4th Sunday I provide an intermediate-level project and we get together and craft community (and felted squirrels). Sign up for the next club on the calendar page.

Sculpture

 I have an exhibition of my wool felted sculpture at Nine Gallery in April. Sign up for my email list to get an invitation!

IRL felting supply shop

I maintain a shop-within-a-shop of wool felting materials at Zuckerceme. You can shop in person for 5 days per week in Portland. See this page for more info about the exact materials I stock and shop hours.
