Needle Felting [workshop]
November 21 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Needle Felting – Wool, Texture and Repair
Add texture, colour, and strength to your textiles with wool fibres. Cover small holes or thin patches with tactile, felted designs.
Focus: A tactile technique that uses wool fibres to add texture, colour and strength to textile art and repair projects.
Introduce dry needle felting as a way to add colour, texture and reinforcement to fabric surfaces. Demonstrate safe use of felting needles, foam pads and wool fibres. Explore simple shapes, motifs and textured areas that can cover small holes, thin patches or worn areas. Participants create a felted sample before applying the technique to a practice textile or suitable garment area.
Outcome: participants complete a small needle-felted repair or decorative textile sample.
