Improve your mental wellbeing by learning to ‘paint with wool’ and create a seasonal themed 2D picture at this series of workshops. For example, to denote Spring, the needle felt subject could be blue tits amongst apple blossoms. The course includes three weekly two-hour workshops.  

The process of needle felting requires focus and concentration, so it has an inbuilt meditative quality. This tends to bring a peaceful, calming atmosphere to participants as they work. It is a non-threatening way to be with other people but with no pressure to talk or interact unless you choose to. 

Did you know that needle felting and similar crafts are scientifically proven to make people happier? From reducing stress to helping you build confidence, crafting does wonders when it comes to mental health. In fact, when you’re needle felting, the reward centre in your brain begins to release dopamine, a neurotransmitter that signals something pleasurable. In turn, we end up wanting to do more of this satisfying activity, ultimately making us happier overall!
