Needle Felted Corals
Join us at Central Scotland School of Craft on 30th August for a meditative day making needle felted corals with world-renowned textile artist and doll maker Johanna Flanagan, aka The Pale Rook.
About Needle Felted Corals
Together, we’ll dive into the strange and beautiful world of marine life, exploring the organic forms and textures of coral reefs. From delicate branching corals to bulbous brain corals and intricate sea anemones, you’ll create your own vibrant undersea-inspired sculptures using needle felting techniques. You’ll learn how to sculpt three-dimensional forms in wool, build around a wire armature, and add rich surface detail and texture to bring your corals to life.
Felting is the oldest textile construction method in human history, used for millennia in building, clothing, homeware, and sculpture across cultures. In this workshop, we’ll explore its potential for creating dynamic, three-dimensional marine-inspired forms. We’ll begin with simple shapes and gradually develop more elaborate structures and embellishments to complete your one-of-a-kind felted coral piece.
No previous textile or felting experience is necessary, and all equipment and materials are provided. Please bring a cushion, blanket, or towel to rest your felting pad on as you work—this will also help support your wrists or arms if you have any mobility issues.
Throughout the workshop, we will use ethically sourced sheep’s wool. Leather finger guards are commonly used in felting, and while we will provide a vegan alternative to the leather guards, please note that we are unable to offer a vegan alternative to the wool itself.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
