The Woolen Canvas

Imagine transforming loose, cloud-like wool into a solid, durable sculpture without using glue or a single stitch of thread. That is the art of needle felting. You start with nothing but a pile of colourful fibres and a specialised barbed needle. By simply poking the wool repeatedly (called felting), you tangle the fibers until they lock into place. It is like you are ‘painting with wool’, building up layers of colour and texture as you go. Come get hands-on with this tactile technique. In this experience, you will learn to felt a personalised design onto a felt bag, walking away with a functional piece of art you created.
