A topic that comes up regularly at the Craft Shows is “Do you do workshops?”

Many people are attracted to the creative element of Needle felting and many also find Needle felting to be a very therapeutic practice, with the bonus of your own finished artistic creation at the end of a your session.

We do conduct felting workshop sessions. Our own premises is not suitable for holding classes and we are constantly looking around for host venues. If you have a suitable venue, anywhere that a small group can gather around a table or two in which a class can be hosted we would be delighted to come along and meet with your group. Castle-Craft can supply tools, materials, and experienced expertise to guide your group through a felting class.

Or a seasonal bauble.

Castle-Craft is based in Devon. A long journey time reduces the useful time spent at the venue so we are only able participate in Craft Fairs and workshops at venues in Devon and occasionally in East Cornwall or West Dorset.

We suggest for a first session in Needle Felting your group is guided through creating a Felt Figure from start to finish.

A nest of mice, line up for thier end of session photocall. This happy gang was created by a group of first time felters at a Castle-Craft workshop session in Okehampton on 15th February this year.

These figures are created around a rigid wire armature and so are posable.

Other workshop sessions have included Sculpted figures and Creating landscapes in Needle felt.

Moon Gazing Hare

Saturday 7th June 2025, At South Zeal Farmers’ Market, Victory Hall, South Zeal. 1.30 to 3.30.

The Needle Felting will begin at 1.30 in the afternoon, for a two hour session after the Farmers’ Market has cleared away, so arrive early and get some delicious local produce before settling down to create your own, slightly taller than a coffee mug, Needle Felt Moon Gazing Hare. All materials and tools will be provided and there will be enough bits and pieces left over to take home and with your new found skills create a friend for your hare at your own pace.
