Needle Felting Next Steps 2D Picture-Based - Kirkby-in-Ashfield Library and Learning Centre - Adult Learning

About this course

Take your 2D needle felting skills to the next level by focusing on two specific themes: floral designs and animal or bird portraits. You’ll explore how to create a layered, expressive floral composition using wool, learning to blend colours, build form, and add fine detail. We will then look at how to create animal or bird studies—learning how to capture shape, texture, and character. You’ll use techniques like directional felting, fibre blending, and shading to bring your subject to life. This course is ideal if you’ve completed a beginners’ 2D felting course and are ready to explore more complex felting techniques. What will learners achieve by the end of the course? • Create a needle-felted floral composition using layered wool and blended colours. • Use fine needle felting techniques to add detail and definition to petals, stems, and leaves. • Plan and design a small animal or bird picture using a reference image. • Use fibre direction, texture, and shading to capture features such as fur, feathers, or eyes.
