Needle Felted Festive Fungi Workshop

Step into the enchanting world of fungi with a meditative day of felting sculpture, led by world-renowned textile artist and doll maker Johanna Flanagan, aka The Pale Rook. In this immersive workshop, we’ll explore the extraordinary forms, textures, and colours of mushrooms and mycelia, drawing inspiration from their mystical, otherworldly shapes and the hidden networks that connect them beneath the forest floor.
Using wool and a wire armature, you’ll learn how to build sculptural three-dimensional forms, developing your own magical interpretations of autumnal fungi.

Johanna will guide you through techniques to add texture, subtle surface details, and colour variation, helping you capture the playful, intricate, and sometimes fantastical nature of mushrooms. From delicate to dramatic, each sculpture will take on its own character, reflecting the diversity and mystery of the mycelial world. You’ll leave with a stunning, tactile piece of art, perfect for autumnal décor or as a unique festive gift.
