Felt: Needle Felted Poppy
In this engaging and hands on workshop, you'll craft a beautiful poppy field and /or a poppy brooch to honour and commemorate Remembrance Day. Whether you're an experienced artist or just looking to express your creativity, this event offers a thoughtful way to reflect, create, and connect.
We will start the workshop by being introduced to needle felting, it’s history and explaining the qualities of the wool. Before you get started, you will be taught how to blend colours and you will experiment with different materials. Felting is known as 'painting with wool', so you will create some watercolour samples, mixing the hues, which will be developed into felted samples.
This creative process is both therapeutic and inspiring and it is perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike, allowing you to engage in a tactile journey.
Please be aware that the technique is fairly repetitive so may not be suitable for people with back or neck pain.
All materials provided.
Suitable for ages 18+ years.
