Needle felted Animal Baby Mobile - Private group class
Needle felted Animal Baby Mobile - Private group class
Come together as a group to make the parents to be in your life this wonderful needle felted mobile.
This makes for such a wonderful activity for a Baby Shower! By the end of the workshop the parents to be will have a completed mobile to take away* and suspend in their nursery.
Heather will show you how to create the charming animals for the mobile through a combination of short demonstrations and worksheets. Together with her assistant she will be there to support everybody, regardless of their needle felting experience, to complete their part of the mobile.
Participants will make the characters for the mobile both independently and in groups. This will depend on the number of participants and complexity of the items being made. EG, for say the elephant, whilst one person creates the head and body another will make the limbs, ears, trunk tail etc. It much depends on whether you want to recreate the example.
Please contact me to arrange a mutually suitable day and time. Depending on how many of you there are you’ll need between 3 and 4 hours for the workshop. If the activity is a surprise for the parents to be a little longer.
Priced for between 10 and 25 participants. With smaller groups a simpler version of the mobile is recommended.
All parts are made from natural materials - wool, linen and bamboo.
Please do read additional information
*NB: It takes a good 30 minutes to construct the mobile, please let me know when booking the workshop whether you would prefer the mobile to be put together by me after the workshop and posted to the parents to be.
