At this workshop, participants will use felting needles and a range of soft British wools, to needle felt an adorable little hedgehog. 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 techniques of sculpting batt wool into simple shapes, adding top layers of wool to create colour, detail and features. Additional skills such as creating fluff with reverse needles and using carders to blend wools will be introduced. There will be plenty of one to one guidance where needed.
