Learn the basics of needle felting, with tutor Sarah Richards in this fun and colourful Easter craft session.

Create your own decorative Easter eggs for hiding and hunting! You will use pure wool and formers to shape, colour and add details; and you’ll receive a kit with felting tools and enough fibre to design three hanging eggs.

You will be encouraged to be playful in adding your own designs and interest to your work. You will leave with a new found confidence to experiment further and to continue on your felting journey.

You will find out about felting tools and how to use them safely, plus how to get different effects with various natural fibres.

Sarah Richards

Sarah is a fibre artist, designer, maker and tutor; based in the Cotswolds. She combines her love of teaching with a passion for natural fibres; and offers workshops that tap into the therapeutic and mindful benefits of creating with wool.

Sarah discovered needle felting over 15 years ago, and is still finding new things to make, and new techniques to try. Felting offers endless opportunities to sculpt, decorate and embellish; and each and every object she or her students create is unique.

Working with fibre usually throws up surprises, is sometimes challenging, but always rewarding. Inspiration comes from the natural world and particularly its colours: as wool takes dye so easily, it is the ‘paint’ on a felter’s palette. The variety offered by this medium is also very pleasing: different fibres give particular effects; with wool locks and curls bringing texture and form to both 2D and 3D pieces.

Sarah loves to combine mixed media elements into her work, sometimes repurposing vintage and recycled materials and fabrics.
