HERDWICK SHEEP NEEDLE FELTING WORKSHOP WITH FELT FABULOUS

HERDWICK SHEEP NEEDLE FELTING WORKSHOP WITH FELT FABULOUS

16th Mar 2024

At this workshop, participants will use felting needles and a range of soft British wool, including Herdwick wool, to needle felt a cute Herdwick sheep holding a felted heart. This relaxing workshop is suitable for complete beginners, as all tools, wools and techniques will be explained and demonstrated throughout the workshop. Participants will be shown the technique of sculpting batt wool into a simple shape, then adding top layers of wool to create colour, detail and features. There will be plenty of one to one guidance where needed.

Workshop tutor Amanda Smith of Felt Fabulous Gifts, is a self taught felt artist who discovered the joys of felting after leaving a teaching career. Now 8 years on and a full time felter, Amanda loves to share her passion for this therapeutic and addictive craft by passing her skills onto others. She is a member of the International Feltmakers Association.
