Giraffe - Adult intermediate level needle felting workshop

Description

Taking place at The Art Yard gallery in Cradley Heath, from 10am-5pm this is an adult needle felting workshop with tutor Natalie Harris (Brooks). Natalie is a fine artist using needle felting and the creator of Roly Poly Ponies. This workshop is aimed at adults (18+) that have done a few needle felting projects before... attendees should already have a basic grasp of needle felting and be able to make firmly felted shapes (balls, eggs, flat shapes) ... The focus will be on using a simple armature, developing shapes and adding a touch of realism.... so if that's something that you are looking to move onto, this workshop is for you! The armature and hooves will be pre-made, allowing you to focus on the felting. I am hoping that you will finish your giraffe during the session, but if not you will have the confidence to finish off any details at home. All materials are provided. Tea and coffee will be available, but Lunch is not included. Please bring a packed lunch with you. Booking essential, £45 per person. Full T+C's are on the notes section of my Facebook page or are available upon request
