Relax, Felt and Create
These classes are suitable for beginners as well as those regulars who just want to come along , dive

pace. Those who are new to needle felting will be taught the techniques they need to create a
landscape as well as experimenting with all the materials available to make another item.

Felt and Embellish
Working with fleece, silk and sheer fabrics.
Take your felting a step further by adding embellishments.... feathers, pre-felts, wood slivers, shells, stitching, nets, fabrics
can all add interest to your projects. There will be an opp0rtunity to a go at using an embellisher or, if you have one, bring it along.
Create several backgrounds to take home to work on or complete a couple of projects on the day.
This is a really fun and inspiring workshop. Make book covers, wallets, wall hangings with a difference.

Masterclass!
Making improvements to your felting journey
This class is only open to anyone who has done a previous class with me as I will not be teaching basic needle felting.
I will be doing several short demonstrations on how to add features, tackling a large picture or hanging as
featured at the top of this page, using curls, prefelt etc to advantage and more.
We will be working on different backgrounds and incorporating fabrics, threads and yarn. You will also have the opprtunity to use an electric carder to make your own battings to experiment with.
It is a combination of felting and embellishing at a more advanced level.
Dates available: Sat 19th September Sun 25th October Cost 28.00
