Felt Creatures Workshop

Design and sew your own quirky felt creature while discovering the calming art of hand stitching!

In this creative workshop, participants will use colourful felt, thread and decorative materials to create a unique soft creature full of personality. From deciding its shape and features to choosing how many eyes it has, every detail is up to the maker.

Along the way, participants will learn simple hand-sewing techniques and practise large, easy stitches to build confidence and coordination. They'll also explore how facial expressions, colours and decorations can help communicate emotions and tell a story about their creature.

Hand sewing encourages patience, focus and mindfulness, making this a relaxing and rewarding creative experience. Participants will leave with a handmade felt friend to keep and cherish.

Who is this for?
Children aged 8-12 who enjoy storytelling, acting, or creative play-no prior experience needed.

What to bring:
Comfortable clothes for messy crafts and a willingness to have fun.

Spaces are limited - bookings essential.

Participants will have the opportunity to exhibit the artwork they create during the My Story My World workshop series in the Youth Exhibition in September 2026.

If you are unable to attend the workshop, please let us know as soon as possible so the place can be offered to another participant.
