Introduction to Needle Felting - Festive themed!

Join our wonderful tutor (and needle felting enthusiast!) Nicky for a creative and fun day learning how to turn wool into little creatures! Join our wonderful tutor (and needle felting enthusiast!) Nicky for a creative and fun day learning how to turn wool into characterful little needle felted creatures! Using soft carded wool in different colours and special needles with little barbs at the end to catch and mesh together fibres as you prod into the yarn, you will prod away under Nicky's instruction until a little creature begins to emerge! Working on a small foam felting mat with a couple of special needles, you will learn how to create a small 3D form step by step and then how to put detail and life into your creation and give it a little personality all of its own! Nicky will work with you on a little snowman and you should have time to finish this project in the class and then start a second creation (another snowman or maybe a penguin), which you can take away to finish at home, along with a little pack consisting of enough yarn to finish your second creature, the felting foam mat and a couple of needle felting needles. The character you will make in this session is a snowman with earmuffs and scarf which is ideal for beginners. Your finsihed creature will measure approximately 2-3 inches in length. Skill Level: Suitable for absolute beginners. Cost: £70 per person (includes all materials and equipment - you will leave the class with a little kit to enable you to continue needle felting at home).
