About The Event

If you love craft and love mushrooms, this workshop is for you. Learn how to needle felt a realistic Fly Agaric (red and white) mushroom using only wool fibre and a felting needle. Whether you are an experienced felter or brand new, Elise will teach tips and tricks to create a solid, well defined, beautiful sculpture. We will discuss wool breeds and presentation, felting needle size and shapes, colour blending, and much more!

Needle felting involves the use of very sharp needles. It is an affordable, fun, social, and easy on-the-go craft. Sign up today to find a new passion and develop your skill set.

All materials will be provided to you.
