Ready to get violent with a needle and some fibres? Then enter the wonderful world of needle-felted animals with Caroline Coates from Creative Coati.
With each stab of the needle, the fibres catch, twist and snarl and from this violence might emerge a buzzing bee, festive robin or delicate mouse.
Caroline will show you how to needle felt step by step to create a stunning animal figure, meticulously sculpted from felt, transforming a material so soft into something solid, structured and with intricate detail.
You will be amazed at the results you can achieve in just a few hours and will go away with a creation to be proud of (you may also release some tension in the process)!
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or for those looking to refresh their skills.
Based at Humbug Art, Eccles, just a few minutes walk from the Eccles town centre and Metrolink. It has it's own small carpark with additional street parking.
