Create a Needlefelted Picture

In this fun workshop you’ll be making a beautiful felted picture in your choice of colours and designs.

Debbie will be demonstrating some simple felting and embellishing techniques and showing you how to create your picture. You can bring a photograph or picture of your favourite landscape, create a scene from your imagination or use one of Debbie’s range of pre-drawn templates. Choose your gorgeous wool fibres and threads to make your own design. Embellish with stitch, beads and threads if you wish and take home your lovely felted picture at the end of the day.

This event is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who want to brush up their skills or just enjoy a couple of hours making a lovely felted picture!

• How to set up your space, what equipment and materials you will use and how to prepare your fibre for felting
• The essential principles of needlefelting – what types of felting methods there are, what fibres you can felt and how the fibres are used.
• How to create a 2D piece of felt, working with colours, layering and pattern.

Nothing! Debbie will provide a wide range of coloured fibres, threads and embellishments. All the equipment and materials are also included so just bring yourself!
