No needle felting experience is required. Should you not complete the project on the day, you will leave with the wherewithal to complete the project at home.
Use of tools is included and all materials (excluding bases for your finished piece – which can be sourced and added at home if you so wish) will be provided but if you wish to do so, you can bring a small piece of ribbon or fabric for your dog’s collar.
