Explore the versatility of the humble punch needle tool to create a piece of 8” wall art full of texture and interest. In this one-day workshop you’ll develop your knowledge of flat and looped stitches to produce work that will include a greater variety of textures andeffects. This is a great opportunity to let your creativity flow and make a piece that develops as you punch.If you prefer more guidance, however, tutor Caroline will be on hand to help with your design. All materials and tools will be provided for but if you have any specific yarn (any weight), a favourite punch needle (suitable for chunky yarn) or any embellishments you’d like to use then please bring them along! This will be a relaxed, creative day where not only will you produce a piece of wonderfully textured art, you will enjoy the therapeutic benefits that punch needle brings. Please note: there may at times be small yarn fibres in the air so please do bring a face covering if you feel this may affect you. All materials will be provided. This 6-hour workshop will start at 10.00am and end at 4.30pm, with a 30 minute break for lunch. Our café will be open or you are welcome to bring your own refreshments.
