Needle Felting Workshop: Sheep Baa-bles in Greater Manchester
Description
Learn to needle felt your own super cute sheep. A perfect project for beginners to get started with the wonderful craft of needle felting. You can choose your breeds and colours and create your own happy, hungry or sleepy sheep! You can choose to wrap your sheep up in a scarf, or have her holding a little heart. All sheep are unique! A hanging can be added to hang around your home and perhaps on your tree at Christmas, or you might prefer for your sheep to sit on a shelf. Your sheep will be made with 100% British wool with no polystyrene inner, making this a sustainable as well as very enjoyable craft! It will last a long time, but at the end of its life it can biodegrade back into the earth that it came from. You'll have the chance to purchase a felting kit and/or extra wool to continue your needle felting.

FAQs
Due to the nature of the spaces available for workshops - many being old mills - they are often not accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. This is the case for The Making Mill in Hebden Bridge and Woodend Mill in Mossley. Please get in touch with me if this stops you being able to attend these workshops, as I am looking to hold workshops in other venues for this reason and can make arrangements to do so.
The Making Mill, Hebden Bridge:
On-street pay and display parking is available on the street and surrounding streets, as well as at The Town Hall car park. Weekends can get very busy in Hebden Bridge so give yourself plenty of time to park. You might prefer to take public transport for this reason. Visitors to Hebden Bridge are encouraged to park at Mytholmroyd Train Station and take the train one stop to Hebden Bridge.
Woodend Mill, Mossley:
Parking is available at the mill, give yourself plenty of time to find a spot. If on the rare occasion you are unable to find space you can park on the main road.
