Workshop: Needle Felting With Lydia Needle

Join environmental-artist and needle-felter Lydia Needle for this creative session inspired by the natural world.

Needlefelt is a craft that uses wool, a felting mat and a special type of sharp needle to create 2D and 3D shapes and designs. In this workshop you will be inspired to create an artwork in needlefelt responding to Somerset’s endangered species.

"I am an art eco-activist, a maker of gentle protest works and with my work, I contemplate our impact on the earth, what we denude or enhance, whether that be in terms of our planet or our communities. To that end, I use waste, ecologically sound or vintage materials including textile fibres, yarns, and fabric to create dialogue about our environmental impact and the human cost of consumption."
