Needle Felting Intro Mini-Class
This class is held as a private 3 hour workshop
Needle felting lets you create beautiful little somethings (and some big ones too) with a specialty needle and sheep wool. In this mini-workshop you learn the basics on how it works. There will be a large selection of books to peruse to get ideas of what to strive towards. Learn about different types of felting needles and needle holding tools.
This is a perfect parent and child workshop (minimum age 6, as the needles are very sharp).
Skills required: The ability to hold a needle and move your dominant hand up and down.
Private Workshop Cost: $105 (+ HST)/person
Semi Private Workshop Cost: $75 (+ HST)/person
Includes all materials – take home 2 felting needles and a small felting pad – there will be extra wool available for purchase if you like to work on goodies at home.
Please bring: it’s always a good idea to bring a note-pad and pen.
Needle Felting – Make a Bunny
This class is held as a private 5 hour workshop
Rabbits are such wonderful animals. Learn to make your own rabbit with needle felting. Using natural sheep wool for the core and covering it with angora wool (if you like), your bunny will be very soft. To have a good reference for a bunny is important, so you will also get to meet one of my pet bunnies (I have 4 of them). White and creamy-beige colour is also available – that fibre comes from a reputable Ontario source for angora fibre and a dear friend of mine. Having a real rabbit at the workshop will make sculpting your bunny even easier. You will also be shown how to needle felt a wee carrot and a head of lettuce for your new friend.
Skills required: The ability to hold a needle and move your dominant hand up and down.
Private Workshop Cost: $175 (+HST)/person

Includes all materials – take home 2 felting needles and a small felting pad – there will be extra wool available for purchase if you like to work on goodies at home.

Needle Felting Coaching
If you know what you would like to create with needle felting, but you are not sure where to start, I can coach you through it. Perhaps you are working on a project and are not sure what do do next or you are stuck with a challenging section. This is where a private coaching/teaching session can be of use for you.
