Christmas Felting Party - 2 hrs

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is needlefelting?

  Although it has its roots in a centuries old form of cloth making, needle-felting is a relatively new art, an off-shoot of industrial felt-making from the nineteenth century.  Woollen fibres are bonded together using specially designed barbed needles to form a firm material which can be made into 3-D shapes.

• Do I have to be good at sewing?

  No sewing (or glueing) involved.  You will be amazed how the fibres bond together with just a little stabbing.

• Do I need to bring anything with me?

  All materials are included and tools loaned to you.  It is important however, to bring a printed picture of the animal you would like to make.

• Do I have to be artistic?

  No!  We use a wire armature frame in the models which immediately helps you with proportions.  You will be gently guided through the entire process.  Relax and enjoy - you only have yourself to please.

• What if I feel unwell on the day

  We want to keep everyone safe, so if you feel unwell on the day and are unable to attend the show, we will post your kit to you for a small extra charge for postage.
