PenFelt Studio’s felting supplies at Zuckercreme

Zuckercreme is (definitely) the cutest cafe and event space in the Montavilla neighborhood of Portland, offering coffee, ice cream and artist-made goods.

I’ve partnered with Zuck to offer a shop-within-a-shop stocked with all my favorite felting wool, tools and kits. I am also the resident felting teacher, offering 2-4 classes per month in this good vibes creative business.

From online to IRL:

The true story of my journey in and out of an e-commerce business.

In 2020 I designed and manufactured a line of felting kits based on my most popular classes, so people could felt at home during the pandemic. I learned the language of SEO and unboxing so I could ship colorful wool to customers all over the world. I made tutorial videos for my YouTube channel and spent a lot of time on Zoom teaching people how to felt.

A classic pandemic small business pivot! After four years of spending most of my days on the computer, I had to make a change.

In 2024 I closed my webshop so I can focus on two of my favorite offline activities: teaching in-person classes and making artwork. I am (re)choosing a business model that is smaller, slower and exists mostly offline. I believe deeply that handcraft and gathering in person generates well being and good humor, two things our hurting world sorely needs.

I currently maintain my Portland shop-within-a-shop at Zuckercreme, so my students and local customers can still get my thoughtfully sourced felting supplies. Come take a class or visit the shop IRL… let’s hang out! 👋
