School Holiday Needle Felted Butterfly Portrait Workshop

Students will learn how to use wool fibres and needle felting techniques to build their own colourful butterfly design. They’ll experiment with different colours, shapes and patterns as they create the wings and details of their butterfly, with plenty of opportunity to make their design their own.

Once their butterfly is complete, students will arrange and secure their felted artwork within an embroidery hoop, transforming their needle-felted design into a piece of textile art ready to hang and display.

This workshop is suitable for ages 8+

Guardians are welcome to drop and leave or stay and observe.

All materials provided including hanging hoop and ribbon for a perfectly finished piece to take home.

Please note: Needle-felting needles are sharp and will be used throughout this workshop. Children will receive clear safety instructions and will be closely supervised while using the needles. Finger guards will also be available for children who would like additional protection while felting.
