WHAT IS NEEDLE FELTING?
Needle Felting is a technique that uses the repetitive poking motion of a barbed needle into wool fibres. This motion binds the fibres together, which then results in a firm fabric or object. This technique can be used for a variety of different projects and many find a relaxing and therapeutic activity to do.

DETAILS:
Where: Other Goods and Services, 130 Lygon St, Brunswick East
When: Tuesday 17th of December, 2024. 6:30-9pm.

A Google Form will also be sent to all participants before the Workshop asking for dietary requirements and ideas of what they might like to make, so we can make sure to curate the perfect colour palette of fibre for you!

Fancy a snack?
Come feast with Hamish, Grayson and their (fake) friends. They may not be well vers-ed in hospitality but they have enjoyed many overpriced pastry in their time. Rest assured these two promise to get to the bottom of the barrel...and leave no crumbs.
Since their performances at Melbourne International Comedy Festival (2024) and Comedy On The Rocks (2023) the pot has only thickened. Independent creatives Jaiya and Loxy have decided to take their interactive performance style to the next level with an intimate evening of comedy and cuisine. They promise to serve in every sense.
Yes, darling - nibbles included!
This event will be catered by GRUEL.

Important info: As part of the workshop, you will have the option to smell and taste a variety of things. If you have any allergies or dietary requirements please let us know when booking. And finally, try and come along smelling fairly neutral - clean but not overly perfumed by products is perfect as there will be the option to smell others and be smelled.
