In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of needle felting by creating a simple felted sphere. From there, we’ll explore how to combine multiple spheres to form more complex shapes. To finish, you’ll design and make your own unique accessory—either a pair of earrings or a brooch—using your felted creations.
