Toadstools Fibre Art Workshop - Weds 16th July

Wednesday 16th July 6:30-8:30pm < please get in touch if this time doesn't work for you / if daytime is better. I can change it to suit the group!

Learn the art of needle felting to make a toadstool fibre art picture. Perfect for beginners, and for those who have already needle felted to learn this technique of felting onto fabric with a 3d effect.

Your creation will be 100% British wool and the red/orange is naturally dyed by me with madder root, making this a sustainable as well as very enjoyable craft! There'll be a choice of scrap fabric, much of it wool, to felt onto.

You will use high quality felting tools and learn more about felting wool and tools.

Needle felting involves using a sharp barbed needle to stab the wool until it felts together to form a shape. It can result in small pricks to the finger, but finger protectors will be provided.

You'll take your needles home with you and you'll have the opportunity to purchase extra tools if you would like to carry on this craft

You can frame your creation in an embroidery hoop (included) or take home to put it in a frame.

Refreshments are included.
