Needle Felted & Jointed Fuzzy Bear
Saturday, April 18 | 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM | $95
Join me in the studio for a fun day of needle felting to bring your own fuzzy bear to life.
You’ll be able to choose from a variety of beautiful wool colours and then be guided through the process of needle felting all the parts of your bear, including moveable arms and legs.
This project is a lovely way to build on prior needle felting experience, though enthusiastic beginners will also find it a rewarding challenge. The session will set you up with essential skills for your future needle felting projects.
Please bring a packed lunch to enjoy during our midday break.
Spring Bouquet: Wet Felting
Saturday, April 25 | 10 AM – 3:00 PM | $95
Celebrate the arrival of spring by creating a vibrant felted wool painting. Using fine Merino wool and a variety of speciality fibres, we will work with a cheerful palette of spring colours to bring a beautiful botanical bouquet to life.
Be prepared for a truly hands-on experience! Wet felting is an active process that relies on plenty of elbow grease through repeated rolling and agitation by hand. If you have any concerns about the physical nature of the process, I’m happy to chat more about what to expect.
Needle Felted Toadstools with Rachel Horsley
Sunday, April 26 | 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM | $75
Step into the intricate world of forest fungi with guest artist Rachel Horsley of Fly Fungi.

You’ll learn how to capture the iconic scarlet cap and delicate white speckles that make this toadstool a natural wonder and a woodland favourite.
This session is a beautiful way to slow down and explore the art of fine-scale sculpting. Rachel will share her specialized techniques for achieving lifelike textures and forms, providing you with a foundation of skills you can carry into all your future needle felting projects.
This workshop is suitable for beginners or experienced felters who wish to expand their skills at creating realistic nature-inspired art.
Please pack a lunch to enjoy during our midday break.
