Needle felting is the simple process of turning loose wool into a solid felt using a barbed needle. It’s a easy craft which doesn’t require extensive equipment, and you can make toys, ornaments and decorations. It’s a fun and tactile hobby!
In this beginner class, we’ll learn to dry felt cute cats. You’ll have the opportunity to choose your own colour combinations and personalise your cat, while mastering the two basic structures essential to 3D needle felting – circles and logs.
All materials are provided to get started, including needles and felting block to take home!
This workshop will cover:
- The basics of needle felting
- Different tools, materials, and their purposes
- The two basic forms for 3D object felting
- Ideas and examples for future projects
- Where to source materials/resources
