About this Event
Needle Felting Workshop – Create Your Own Festive Hoop Art
Join me at Studio Infinara for a relaxed and creative workshop exploring the wonderful, tactile craft of 2D needle felting, updated for the festive season. Using a special barbed needle, you will learn how to sculpt and build up layers of beautifully soft merino wool fibres onto a felt backing to create a stunning, textured Christmas picture framed inside an embroidery hoop.
Choose Your Festive Design
To make your experience completely stress-free, I have designed five exclusive Christmas templates. When you book your ticket, please choose which pattern you would like to tackle so I can have your template and instructions ready for you on the day. Alternatively, if you feel a bit more confident, you can select the option to map out and create your own custom design from scratch.
Our festive designs include:
- The Festive Robin: A charming, bright red-breasted robin perched peacefully on a winter branch.
- The Christmas Tree: A classic, beautifully decorated festive pine tree topped with a bright golden star.
- The Jolly Snowman: A cheerful snowman bundled up in a red scarf, nestled between evergreen trees.
- The Starry Winter Night: A magical, crescent moon shining over snowy peaks and a starry sky.
- The Northern Lights Hills: A breathtaking, vibrant winter landscape under a swirling, colourful night sky.
Please note: A brilliant variety of felt sheet backgrounds will be available on the day for you to choose from, so your background colour may differ slightly from the examples shown, making your finished piece completely unique! I will have a full buffet of premium merino wool colours available for you to use for the needle felting details.
As a local artist, I have been creating art my whole life and have more than a decade of teaching experience. I will guide you through the needle felting process step-by-step, ensuring you leave with a finished festive piece you are proud to display.
