Introduction to Felting

Event details

The Evening Workshop

Your Workshop Host, the lovely Angela, is looking forward to meeting you to learn the art of basic needle felting. Come along and try it out to gain your confidence, and ability, with a view to attending some of the other amazing needle felt workshops that we will be running throughout the rest of the year.

Needle felting is an art form where you use a special felting needle to bind felt fibres together to make 2D or 3D shapes.

In these workshops Angela will teach you how to use small cookie cutters, as a guide to form your shape, and then embelish it.

Angela says “Join me for a 2-hour beginner-friendly felting workshop and create your very own:

🐰 Bunny Butt
☁️ Happy Cloud
🧸 Teddy Bear

Turn your adorable creation into a fridge magnet or brooch – perfect for gifting or keeping!”

What to bring?

Anticipation to enjoy the whole experience!

Specific to this workshop:

  • Reading glasses if you need them.
  • Please feel free to bring a small, easy to eat snack with you, if you are going to miss having an evening meal. We can provide you with a plate.

What skills are needed?

No experience is necessary. You will be using a needle, with a wooden handle, and the cookie cutters should / will protect you from pricking your finger with the needle.
