    Needlefelting

Learn how to create beautiful needle-felted lilies using British wool. Julie will demonstrate and teach from an artist’s perspective how to ‘paint with wool’ in a step-by-step lesson. You will find out about the equipment and materials used and the process of needle felting. Discover and develop how to use composition and perspective, how to build up layers and how to add fine details to your felting. You will be using barbed needles to produce a delightful 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. Lunch and refreshments included.

Tutor: Julie Vickery
