Beginners' Needle Felting Workshop

Description

Spend the day learning the core techniques of needle felting while creating your own three-dimensional piece. Mary will show you how to shape wool, work in both 2D and 3D, build up individual elements and bring them together to form a finished character. You’ll learn how different needles and materials behave, how to create shape and structure, and how to refine and finish your work, with demonstrations and practical guidance throughout the day. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners and also works well as a refresher day for those who have tried needle felting before. All materials and equipment are provided, and your felting kit is yours to take home afterwards. Refreshments provided. Please bring a packed lunch. We kindly ask that nuts are not brought into the studio because one of our staff has a nut allergy. Thank you. Content of workshops may be subject to slight changes.
