    Needlefelting


Learn how to create beautiful needle-felted spring flowers using British wool and inspired by the snowdrops and crocus growing at RHS Rosemoor. Julie will demonstrate and teach from an artist’s perspective how to ‘paint with wool’ in a step-by-step lesson. You will learn about the equipment and the process of needle felting, about composition, perspective, how to build up layers and fine details. You will be using barbed needles to produce a 15 cm square piece of art ready to frame.

Inspired by nature and the local landscape, Julie’s needlefelts are created with British wool mainly from Dartmoor and Exmoor sheep and purchased from local mills. Julie attended university, graduating with a BA (hons) 1st Illustration, and then became a fully qualified Secondary School Art Teacher. After 20 years teaching using a variety of media, Julie now teaches from her home on the edge of Dartmoor as well as exhibiting and producing her own artwork. 

Please bring with you:
  • Your booking reference number
  • A notebook and pencil to make notes
  • Camera (or mobile phone for photos)
All materials provided. Tea/coffee and cake included.

Tutor: Julie Vickery
