Aims of the course:

A wonderful day of needle felting with celebrate mixed artist Kate Toms, creating a unique sitting dog.   You will be taught the skills and be provided with all the materials to complete something magical to take home with you.  Prepare to be enthralled by Kate's skill and gentle humour.

Needle felting is a simple process – the fleece is shaped with the hand and ‘fixed’ in place using barbed needles. Working with wire and fleece, Kate will take you through the process of making a small sitting dog.

No experience is needed. Should you not complete the project on the day, you will leave with the wherewithal to complete the project at home.

Use of tools is included, and all materials will be provided, but if you wish to do so, you can bring a small piece of ribbon or fabric for your dog’s collar.

Refreshments provided and lunch is available locally.
