Skill Extension – Intro to Needle Felting 2D
Discover the art of creating breathtaking landscapes—one fibre at a time! Join us for “Felted Horizons”, an immersive workshop where you’ll learn the craft of 2D needle felting and create your own textured wool landscape to take home.
What You’ll Learn
During this hands-on workshop, you will:
- Learn how to handle felting needles safely and effectively. We’ll show you the difference between coarse and fine needles, how to use them for shaping and detailing, and tips for avoiding common pitfalls (like breaking needles).
- Gain an understanding of how to use your needles to create sharp lines or blend edges.
- Be guided step by step through the entire process of creating a 2D wool landscape.
- Discover how to use wool like paint to create beautiful gradients and vibrant colour combinations.
- Practice building layers of wool to give your landscape depth and dimension.
- Refine your work by adding texture and detail.
- Receive tips and tricks for framing or displaying your felted landscape.
Why Attend?
Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, you’ll work at your own pace and leave with a finished (or nearly finished) landscape that you can be proud of. With these skills you will be ready to explore more 2D needle felting projects on your own.
Spaces are limited, so don’t miss your chance to learn the timeless art of wet felting. Join us and unlock your creative potential!
Participants will make a sample piece of quality felt.
All the felting equipment and kit is supplied – so you just need to bring along a towel and your enthusiasm.
These classes are designed for inexperienced felters, or anyone wanting to refresh their skills or learn a new felting technique. They are ideal for people who have completed the Feltwest beginners workshop and are keen to learn more, or gain the skills and confidence required to undertake a more advanced felting workshop.
Extension classes are kept small to provide a lot of 1:1 support to participants in a relaxed and helpful environment. The sessions will focus on creating one or more samples on a specific technique.
