Winter is here, a perfect time to grab supplies, try something new, and have fun with a different kind of craft.

Needle felting has come back into style—and for good reason. It’s a satisfying, forgiving process that lets you sculpt fluffy wool into a unique 3D mini-creature. The method is simple, portable, and tidy: all you need is wool, a felting needle, and a small foam pad.

In this hands-on session, Faline invites everyone—adults, teens, and children aged 10 years and up—to make a charming woollen creature. You’ll learn the basics of needle felting, pick from a palette of colors, and craft your own animal. If your project isn’t finished, you’ll leave with a felting needle to keep felting at home.

Our workshops — especially the craft sessions — offer a relaxed space to connect and learn a new skill together.

Limited to 8 participants. Bookings are essential. Bookings close Monday, 6th July at 2pm. Book Now
