Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is needlefelting?

    Although it has its roots in a centuries old form of cloth making, needle-felting is a relatively new art, an off-shoot of industrial felt-making from the nineteenth century.  Woollen fibres are bonded together using specially designed barbed needles to form a firm material which can be made into 3-D shapes.

  • Do I have to be artistic?

    No!  We use a wire armature frame in the models which immediately helps you with proportions.  You will be gently guided through the entire process.  Relax and enjoy - you only have yourself to please.

  • Do I have to be good at sewing?

    No sewing (or glueing) involved.  You will be amazed how the fibres bond together with just a little stabbing.

  • Do I need to bring anything with me?

    All materials are included and tools loaned to you.  It is important however, to bring a printed picture of the animal you would like to make.
