Fudge and Mabel are proud to present a very special Green Man needle felting workshop, to be held at the Red House Museum and Gardens, Quay Rd, Christchurch, BH23 1BU
Come and join us for a fun and therapeutic workshop where you will use beautiful sustainable wool to make your very own Green Man. For this project, we’ll be creating a large picture that combines both 2-D and 3-D elements. The piece will be built on a hand-dyed wool background and will incorporate natural fibres, plant and silk fibres to create depth and texture. It will have raised details and will include many features such as felted leaves, bark, moss, toadstools and more.
This workshop will be held over the course of 2 days and will run from 10am to 4pm on each day.
£155 per person (includes a special treat of a coffee/tea and a delicious slice of cake from the Red House Museum Cafe).
The price also includes a large felting set containing wool, a felting mat, needles, finger guards, all yours to take home with you at the end of the day. Bottled water is provided but please remember to bring with a packed lunch. Other refreshments and cakes can be purchased from the Red House Museum Cafe.

*preparation of the wool and traditional needle felting techniques.
*materials, tools and safe use of felting needles.
*Wool/Fibre rolling techniques and basic shapes.
*’Stabbing’ techniques and learning how to sculpt your wool into a 2-D creation.
