You will need to bring a packed lunch with you, Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided and available throughout the day. Please bring your own cup though eco paper cups are available.

I try to make the day as informal as possible and give out notes etc to take home to remind you of what we have covered as well as ideas to work on in class.

All the equipment and materials are supplied. All classes are 10.30 to 3.30pm unless otherwise stated.

ALL THE COURSES ARE £28 WHICH INCLUDES ALL MATERIALS USED.

I am keeping the fees the same as last year as I want these to be affordable classes which help with wellbeing and give an opportunity to learn a new craft without financial restrictions. Needle felting is a very mindful and absorbing craft which can be enjoyed by all ages and abilitities. You will go home with completed items and the cost of all the materials is included.

Note: Want to make a weekend of felting then you will only pay £50 for the two days.

Creative Needle Felting

This course is suitable for those who want to learn to needle felt pictures as well as items
that can be made for the home or as gifts. All materials will be provided and you should go
away with at least two completed items. There will be plenty of samples to choose from, lots
of hand dyed fleece and plenty of ideas to inspire you. Also suitable for those who already
felt but want to develop further skills or just having a day to experiment.

Dates available: Sunday 16 Feb

Felt, Embellish, Stitch, Burn...A truly creative day!!

Just dive in to all the materials and hand dyed fleece and start creating. Have a go at using
the embellisher to felt a picture, then add a few stitches, wood, buttons, shells or why not
layer some chiffon and burn some of it away to create texture. The possibilities are endless
and exciting! Alternatively just enjoy needlefelting with all the wonderful hand dyed fleece
that will be available and dip your toes into some of the other techniques out of curiosity!

Dates available: Sunday 15 June

Felting the Natural World - The Big Picture

When you felt a big picture you can add far more details ...trees, waterfalls, big lochs, high
mountains and lots of atmosphere. Included will be a 20 x 16 in mount with a 16 x 12

aperture. Frames are readily available at The Range for this size picture.

Relax, Felt and Create

Many of those who come on my courses are regulars and this is a workshop I hold once a
month where you can come along and experiment with new ideas, develop ones of your own or
just sit and enjoy a little mindful felting. This workshop is also open to those who haven’t
felted before and want to learn in a relaxing environment. This is especially suitable for
those who seek a bit of stress relief or feel that they need a bit of downtime. Lots of oppor-
tunities to explore the creative process of felting. Each month I also bring additional prod-
ucts and inspiration that I have been working with. It is also a good way of making all those
Birthday and Christmas gifts!!

Dates available: Sat 15 Feb, Sunday 23 March, Saturday 12 April , Sunday 18 May
