Christmas Felt Bauble Workshop

Event details

Join us for our Christmas Felt Bauble Workshop

Rachel Morley is a local artist and feltmaker who will be supporting you in a gloriously festive, creative afternoon, making your own beautiful felt Christmas baubles.

What You’ll Do

  • Create 3D felt baubles using the dry needle‑felting method
  • Explore making 2D (flat) felt shapes for extra decoration
  • Shape and form your baubles using wool fibres
  • Add Christmas motifs with needle‑felted wool yarns
  • Stitch a hanging cord as the finishing touch

What’s Included

  • All wool fibres and felting materials
  • Tools and equipment
  • Expert guidance from Rachel
  • Refreshments throughout the session

This Workshop Is Perfect For

  • Complete beginners … if you are able to hold a pencil you can hold the felting needle. Some people prefer to hold the needle itself, and others like mounting it in a wooden handle. There is a possibility of ‘stabbing yourself’ with the needle, which is painful for a short while, if you suddenly lose concentration! It is an occupational hazard and all of us have done it at some point! We have plasters!
  • Anyone who loves festive, mindful making
  • Crafters wanting to explore needle‑felting techniques

What to Bring

  • Reading glasses if needed
  • Your own plasters if you have an allergic reaction
  • Your curiosity and festive spirit

Workshop Details

  • Date: Thursday 12th November
  • Time: 1:30pm–4:30pm
  • Cost: £42.50 + 90p card fee
  • Group size: Small, friendly group for personalised support
