Needle Felting on Canvas Bags

Glowfish workshops are small, creative gatherings built around the idea that creativity isn’t something you earn—it’s something you uncover. The focus isn’t on getting it “right” or mastering a craft—it's on exploring ideas, following curiosity, and realizing just how creative you've been all along.
In this session, we’ll work with wool and needle felt directly onto a canvas tote bag or zipper pouch (or feel free to bring your own denim or canvas piece). Needle felting is tactile and very forgiving, which makes it a great medium for experimenting, changing your mind, and following ideas as they evolve.

No prior experience or skills needed. Truly.

• A warm, low-key start to help you settle in and feel comfortable
• Light, playful prompts to help you reflect, connect, and tune into your own creative instincts (sharing is always optional)
• Simple demos of tools and techniques—just enough to get you going
• Plenty of open time to make, explore, chat, change direction, and follow your curiosity wherever it takes you
• A relaxed wrap-up where you can peek at what others made, admire what YOU made, hang out, or quietly pack up and head out

• Beginners, dabblers, and curious creatives alike
• Anyone who doesn’t "feel creative” but kinda wants to be
• People craving a low-pressure, hands-on experience
• Folks who want to connect—with themselves, with others, or a little bit of both

• All materials and tools for needle felting
• A canvas tote or zipper pouch to felt onto
• Beverage of your choice (beer and seltzer available for guests 21+)
• Light snacks
• Guided creative prompts and activities

No confidence needed. No friends required. Come exactly as you are.
