Kingfisher Needle Felting Workshop
On this new exciting two day needle felting workshop fibre artist Carla Taylor of The Mousehole Woolery will guide you step by step through the basic techniques of needle felting right through to more advanced techniques, as well as sharing lots of tips and tricks that she has learnt along the way and her love and passion for local Dorset and British wool.
Carla will share with you how to make your sculptures come to life by looking in more detail at the proportions, shapes and details of our magical kingfisher including the feathers, the mixing and layering of different textured wool's to create shine and the use of finer felting needles. The workshop will also cover the construction and covering of wire legs and beaks and how to cover and work around them. You will also learn the technique of shingling where we implant different layers of wool to create a more realistic finish to your sculptures and how to use wax on claws to create a contrast in textures.
By the end of this two day workshop you will have created your own magical kingfisher mounted on a beautiful piece of locally sourced Dorset wood, ready for you to take home or if you can part with them to give to that special someone as a gift!
A fun, creative, inspiring and relaxing couple of days, with friendly, like minded people! A little self care package all rolled in to one!
This workshop is suitable for beginners or those with some experience of needle felting and may involve some basic sewing, e.g sewing of beads or french knots if you wish to embellish your kingfisher.
The price of the workshop includes all materials and a needle felting kit that you will get to keep, take home and carry on creating with.
