Felt Christmas Baubles Workshop at Hanwell Wine Estate

Description

Join us for a relaxing half day session learning how to make handmade felted baubles using wool fibres and the needle felting method. This is a dry felting process so no soap or water in this felting workshop. The workshop is located in the Rural Antics Craft Barn at Hanwell Wine Estate which offers beautiful views of the Nottinghamshire countryside. The session will be led by local Artist and Feltmaker Rachel, who will guide you through each step. Once the bauble shape is formed, wool yarns are needle felted onto the bauble surface to create your own Christmas motifs and a hanging cord is stitched in place as the finishing touch. They make the perfect handmade Christmas tree decoration or a loving Christmas gift for friends or family. By the end of your session, you will not only have learnt a new skill but have the confidence to make more at home if you wish. In this two and a half hour session you will have enough materials to make between 3 to 4 baubles, depending on the speed you work at. There is an opportunity to purchases additional materials if you would like to make more at home. This workshop is perfect for absolute beginners or people who want a new project. Outline of your session ~ A welcome with refreshments and tp meet tutor, Rachel. Introduction to the tools, showing techniques and handling of the felt. Refreshments with snacks will be served.
