Mouse in a Pumpkin - Adult Beginners Needle Felting Workshop

Description

Felt a mouse in a pumpkin with us! An adult (18+) workshop aimed at beginners or first time felters with tutor Natalie Harris(Brooks). Natalie is a fine artist using needle felting and the creator of Roly Poly Ponies. In the morning (10.30-12:00) the basics of what type of wool and needles are best for sculpting will be explained and then you will use some simple techniques to make the basic shape of your pumpkin. We will break for lunch and an opportunity to get some fresh air in the grounds at 12.00. We will then return at 13:00 to create our cheeky little mice and add the finer details... there will be a selection of colours for your mouse and pumpkin on the day. Note that as Moseley Old Hall is a historical venue, some floors may be unlevel and you may have to negotiate some stairs. Should the workshop be postponed for any reason, you will be given a voucher which can be redeemed at a later date (at any venue Natalie teaches). Full workshop terms and conditions can be found on the notes section of my page or are available upon request.
