FELTED CREATURES

In this cozy, beginner-friendly workshop, you will discover the magical art of needle felting. Guided step-by-step, you’ll learn how to transform loose, vibrant wool roving into a charming, sculpted creature— like puffin , a turtle, or a frog.

We will cover all the foundational techniques, including safe needle handling, shaping basic 3D forms, wrapping core wool, and adding delightful surface details to give your little animal its own unique personality.

No prior felting experience is necessary; all specialized tools, needles, and a beautiful selection of natural wools are provided. It’s a wonderful opportunity to unwind, work with your hands, and connect with fellow craft lovers.

You’ll leave the session with your completed, pocket-sized companion and the skills to keep creating. Spaces fill quickly, so reserve your spot today!
