Get into the festive spirit with a cosy, creative afternoon at The Boathouse Studio, Congleton learning to make your own needle felted robin — a charming seasonal decoration or heartfelt handmade gift.

The 3 hour workshop is led by Vicky Pulman, founder of Needlessly Felted and a member of the International Feltmakers Association. Vicky is known for her friendly, encouraging teaching style, helping people of all abilities discover the calm and creativity that comes with working with wool.

You'll be guided step-by-step through shaping, layering, and blending natural fibres to bring your robin to life — no experience needed! Include felted mushrooms, flowers, tiny pieces of drift wood and woolly moss. Add a clay beak, wire legs, sparkling eyes and a wooden base to complete your design.
