Sheep WorkshopFor anyone passionate about needle felting, the sheep is a truly special animal. It is the source of wool and, in many ways, the foundation of our entire craft. In this workshop, we celebrate this gentle creature by creating a charming, expressive miniature sheep.
Our sheep is a playful little character with a lively gaze and a soft, elegant presence. Delicate yet full of personality, she combines simplicity of form with subtle expressive details.
The curly coat is made using a special material. By combining different material shades with wool, participants can freely experiment with color and create a whole flock of cheerful sheep, each with its own unique character.
This workshop is technically accessible and well suited for beginners. No prior felting experience is required. Participants will be guided step by step through the entire process and will leave with a finished, stable, and expressive miniature sheep.

Vampire Edward Workshop
Even a vampire can have a kind heart, a cheerful spirit, and a completely harmless personality.
No matter how vegetarian his diet may be, his delicate wings, soft semi-transparent folded ears, slightly clumsy pigeon-toed feet, and a touch of goofy charm in his expression make him irresistibly endearing. Vampires have their own way of winning hearts.
Creating this little bat is easy, fun, and relatively quick. The project is suitable for both complete beginners and more experienced felting artists.
For those who enjoy exploring new and unconventional techniques, this workshop will be especially engaging. In this project, felt is combined with other materials — fabric or glued felt, as well as small details made from polymer clay.
- the basic principles of needle felting;
- specific techniques for shaping volume and surface texture;
- how to prepare basic elements and assemble them into a unified form;
- how to felt and refine thin details;
- how to shape and secure the ears;
- how to insert and firmly fix a wire armature;
- how to create thin, stable legs;
- how to add expression to the face;
- how to cut and sew a fluffy coat and a small decorative hat.

Bug Workshop
In this workshop, we will create a small, playful insect full of personality. Each participant will be able to choose their own color palette, body shape, decorative elements, and small details. As a result, we will create a whole collection of cheerful characters — beetles, butterflies, bees, and other imaginative little bugs.
The head will be movable and can be gently turned, which makes the finished figures especially lively, expressive, and full of emotion.
This workshop includes a variety of technical techniques. In addition to classic needle felting, we will incorporate other materials, adding depth and interest to the creative process.
The workshop is technically accessible and well suited for beginners. No prior felting experience is required. Participants will be guided step by step through every stage of the process and will leave with a finished, cute bug.
