Workshops

In this workshop, you'll choose from a range of base shapes and colours to create your very own felt charm from scratch. You will be working with sheep wool and basic needle felting tools to assemble your felt "kid", then finish it off by attaching it to a keychain or necklace rope of your choice.

All tools, materials, and guidance are provided.

Suitable for ages 12 and above.

What You'll Learn:

• The basics of needle felting: Understand how needles bind wool fibres together to create firm, sculpted shapes without any sewing or glue
• Shaping and sculpting techniques: Learn how to build up layers of wool and control the density and form of your felt creature
• Adding colours and details: Discover how to layer and combine different colours to add character and personality to your creation

Make a fun wool coaster using the wet felting technique, an ancient craft dating back to the Bronze Age. You can design your own pattern, sprinkle some water and soap, and roll and press the wool until the fibres bind together into a unique piece.

All tools, materials, and guidance are provided.
