Needle Felting Pictures is a new entry for the 2021 workshops and we are inviting you to this full day workshop where you will learn the art of needle felting and create a felted artistic masterpiece to take home. This is the perfect workshop for those who love to blend wool crafts with a bit of art.

What you will learn:

Needle felting techniques as part of the dry felting process. Using specially designed needles you will learn how to get stabbing for artistic effect and understand how to enmesh a range of fibres into colourful images and designs. Learn the basics of fibre layouts, blending colours and creating texture for your project and gain the basic skills and confidence to continue your journey of artistic self-discovery and creativity. Needle felting is incredibly therapeutic and relaxing and often becomes an addiction! At the end of the day, you’ll have a piece of amazing artwork to take home, as well as the necessary skills for creative felting from here on ever after.

The workshop will be delivered by Karen Thomson a felting aficionado and Volunteer Support Worker at ReTweed. Karen has come through an interesting journey to deliver this workshop to you. Following a career in the corporate world, Karen set off on an exciting creative journey, learning how to work with a range of different mediums and textiles. Karen was not only surprised to unleash hidden artistic talents, she also realised the positive benefits creative activities were having on her wellbeing and hopes others can make this discovery as part of the workshop.

Workshop Cost: £32.00 all materials, refreshments and cake. The session will run from 10:30am – 3:45pm. Experience Level: Beginners or Reviver
