What you'll do

Join textile artist Alisha Hayes for this whimsical needle felting workshop at Track Brewing Co (near Piccadilly Train Station) and create your very own charming owl portrait.

This is the perfect creative activity for a lovely day out. In this beginner-friendly session, you will learn how to transform soft wool fibres (from a local farm!) into an owl artwork using special barbed needles. You will be guided step by step through the painting with wool/ flat felting technique and be able to bring your unique design to life. There will be lots of picture references to inspire your creativity.

You don't need any prior experience to take part in this workshop. All equipment is provided, so all you need to bring is yourself for a relaxing and creative Sunday.

This delightful experience will introduce you to a new creative outlet, leaving you with your own whimsical artwork to display on your wall or gift as a handmade present.

What you'll get

All materials and tools to make your needle felted owl artwork to take home.

Alisha is a needle-felter and illustrator originally from Byron Bay, Australia. Alisha moved to Manchester in 2016 and upon travelling around the United Kingdom she became inspired by the diverse wildlife found here. Alisha grew up surrounded by nature and watching David Attenborough documentaries, as such she has a great interest in learning about native wildlife and sourcing local materials for her sculptures.

Textiles are inspiring due to their history and connection with storytelling and the practise of being creative in a community. Textiles are all around us and hold function in their every day use- however they are also very flexible and can become beautiful artworks. The act of felting is a special one as you can make anything using wool, a needle and a bit of patience. It’s mindful to sit in a group and tell stories while learning a skill together.

Alisha will guide you in creating a sculpture and together we will all have some great time chatting and being peaceful through creativity.
