SUMMARY:Improving Your Equine Makes – Adult Weekend Needle Felting Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:We are back! after a break in 2024 I am running my popular equine masterclass again in 2025. \nAn adult (18+) intensive course run over one weekend (10-5 sat\, 10-4.30 sun)\, aimed at intermediate level needle felters who would like to improve their equine makes and add a better sense of realism.\nYou don’t have to be an expert\, but you will have to have made a few projects before and have an understanding of needle felting. You must be confident in making firm\, basic shapes and be ready to move on to bigger projects. \nYour tutor Natalie Brooks (Harris) is a fine artist using needle felting\, the creator of Roly Poly Ponies and a long time horse addict with a HND in equine science as well as a fine art degree.\nNatalie will spend time discussing proportions and giving an insight into equine anatomy which could help create a better understanding of how a horse is built\, how they move and therefore give you an edge when it comes to sculpting your own equine. \nYou will make a horse or pony in a standing position (no base) in the colour of your choice… please let Natalie know in advance what colour you will be making.\nThis workshop will be run over two days. In the first session you will design your horse or pony (bring some pictures if you would like to make a particular equine friend)\, make an armature from wire and a set of hooves. You will also start to use core wool to create the bulk of your sculpture.\nOn the second session\, you will add colour and details. You will be shown how to add a mane\, tail and legs\, (feather if applicable) to your horse and how to attach the feet to your sculpt.\nYou may or may not fully finish your horse during the session\, but as a minimum you will have the body musculature\, facial details and legs in place. You will leave with the confidence and materials to finish in your own time if necessary. \nSession 1 is 10:00-17:00 on Sat 21st June\nSession 2 is 10:00-16:30 on Sun 22nd June \nBooking is essential £100 per person. Please PM me to book your space. A non-refundable deposit of £50 is required upon booking\, the balance is due on or before 1st June 2025.\nAll materials are included\, though if you have a favorite needle or holder/handle or felting mat feel free to bring it along.\nNote that as the gallery will be open on the Saturday. On Sunday it will be closed and we will have the run of the downstairs gallery space.\nTea\, coffee and light refreshments are provided throughout the sessions\, but please bring your own packed lunch. \nAccommodation is not provided but there is plenty to choose from in the Dudley and Sandwell areas.\nFull Terms and Conditions can be found on the “notes” section of my page\, or are available upon request.
