Felting

Welcome to the wonderful world of felting and fibre sculpture. This traditional technique has been used for centuries and can be applied to a wide range of products, such as clothing, accessories and home decor. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basics of needle felting to create soft sculptures.

Felting is a process of matting, condensing and pressing fibres together to create a dense and durable material. It’s also an extremely meditative and satisfyingly stabby process. We’ll start with an introduction to the materials and techniques used in needle felting, including the types of wool and tools needed. We’ll then jump straight into crafting our pieces, learning how to shape and mould the wool fibres into the basic form of a heart. Next, we’ll cover different techniques for adding details and texture to your pieces. We’ll also cover the use of other materials such as wire and fabric to add more dimension and shape to your sculpture.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance from our wonderful facilitator, Liana, with plenty of time to work on your hearts and share ideas with classmates. At the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your completed anatomically accurate heart to take home and proudly display. This workshop would be a great way for you to learn a new skill while also creating a fun and unique craft project.

Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class.
