In this fun, one day workshop you will learn how to create a bluebell wood using the unique art form of needle felting. You will learn about compositions and how to layer and blend the felt to create a tranquil scene and there will be plenty of demonstrations and hands on assistance.

You will have time to create two pieces on this workshop, it could be two felted bluebell woods and/or it could be developed through embellishments with sewing and fabric. Your piece will naturally develop and change slightly as you work with the felt, so don’t worry if you don’t have a specific image to work from.

A shadow box frame of 18 x 18 cm is included in the workshop and additional frames can be bought on the day.

Please be aware that the the technique is fairly repetitive so may not be suitable for people with back/neck pain.

You are welcome to bring:

• A reference image of a bluebell wood
• Buttons and beads (colours of the bluebells),
• Embroidery thread and needles (colours of the bluebells)
