Introduction to Felting @ Our Crafty Place

Event details

The Workshops

Your Workshop Host, the lovely Angela, is looking forward to meeting you, either in the morning or afternoon, for 2 hours, 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 these workshops:

  • Reading glasses if you need them.

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.

What are the timings?

We have two, 2-hour fun yet relaxed workshops from you to choose from. The morning workshop is from 10am to 12pm and the afternoon from 1.30pm to 3.30pm. You will be able to choose when you book your ticket.

In the morning our purple front door will be open from 9.30am, and in the afternoon from 1pm, so we can welcome you in, you can get to meet Angela and your fellow crafters and grab a cuppa before you start.
