Needlefelted Reindeer and Robin Workshops

Two 2 hour workshops, choose one or book both for a full day of creating.

Needlefelting is an enjoyable and somewhat addictive hobby – no sewing or glue is involved, just the wool, a felting needle and you! Classes are suitable for complete beginners, those wishing to improve their skills and those wishing to have a fun day out. All tools and materials are provided for the course, so just bring yourself, enthusiasm and the readiness to have a go.

Needlefelted Reindeer Workshop 10:00 – 12:00

In this festive class you will learn to needlefelt a Reindeer using chenille wires and wool. Your Reindeer will be poseable and will also cling ‘deerly’ to a Christmas tree branch.

Needlefelted Robin Workshop 13:00 – 15:00

In this festive class you will learn to needlefelt a Robin from wool with wire feet, which we will also make. Your Robin will then stand or hold on to a finger or a Christmas tree branch.
