In this one-day workshop we will explore how to sculpt the face out of felt using natural wool and needle felting. You can choose to work with individual facial features or create a small head.
All materials will be provided, and no experience is necessary.
Saturday 17th February 2024 | 11am-4pm | Fee £60 | Booking is essential
What is needle felting?
It is the process of transforming wool into a solid 3D felted object using a special barbed needle which allows the fibres of the wool to tightly knit together. It is a fun and relaxing process, but it does take concentration as the needles are very sharp!
