Description

Come enjoy a morning of artisan needle felting and make this iconic stand-alone Robin while you soak up the cosy creative space of The Oast Studio set within the rural atmosphere of the Ashdown Forest. This Robin Redbreast workshop is the first of our upcoming Beloved British Song Birds series. Cecily Kate has been deeply inspired by the songbirds over these past few years and will guide you every step of the way so you can create your very own needle felted Robin that's ready to bring a touch of hope, joy and handcrafted magic throughout the Spring, Summer and Winter months ahead. We strive to create an eco-friendly environment at the Oast Studio, choosing natural materials such as 100% wool fibres and felting pads in order to minimise our impact of the earth and reduce landfill. As an artisan crafter Cecily Kate shares her tips and tricks so you can create beautiful wool sculptures without using polystyrene core shapes, foam pads, plastic eyes, plastic clay or synthetic fibres. Suitable for all skill levels, even if you are a beginner. During this workshop you will learn… *How to wrap and shape a core wool form *How to blend wool colours, create layers and subtle feather effects with your wool and needles *How to make a beak *How to create a twinkly eye using only wool *How to wrap legs This workshop allows for 6 -8 people. Spaces have already been purchased on this course so we encourage you to secure your place at this special crafting table. The next bird in this series will be the Song Thrush in June with a nest of speckled turquoise eggs followed The Kingfisher over the summer.
