Highland Cow Needle Felting Workshop

Discover the joy of "painting with wool" in this relaxing, hands-on needle-felting workshop in Gerrards Cross.



2.5 hours

Class size 1 to 12 (public classes), 6 to 30

  £30 - £35 (Earlybird price of £30 applies if you book into a public session 14+ days ahead, otherwise £35 per guest when you book for 1 guest, £30/guest for 2+ guests) (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Led by Stephettie Creates founder, Steph, this beginner-friendly experience will introduce you to the wonderfully tactile world of needle felting. Using soft wool fibres, curly locks, and a little creativity, you’ll build up your own characterful Highland cow, adding texture, shape, and personality as you go.
You’ll be guided through the process step by step, from creating the basic shape and adding colour to building up the distinctive shaggy coat and finishing your design with its own individual character. No two Highland cows will be exactly alike - and that’s part of the charm.
Needle felting is a wonderfully mindful craft. There’s something very satisfying about repeatedly shaping and sculpting the wool, watching a recognisable character emerge from loose fibres. It’s a chance to slow down, get creative, and enjoy making something by hand.
Once complete, your Highland cow will be mounted in a box frame, ready to take home and display as a unique piece of handmade artwork.
Whether you’re looking for a creative catch-up with friends, a relaxing activity to try on your own, or a thoughtful experience to share with someone special, this workshop offers a lovely opportunity to make, chat, and enjoy the creative process.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 4 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

Can I make my Highland cow look different?
Yes. You’ll have a choice of wool colours and textures, allowing you to give your creation its own personality. I'll have a template of a highland cow you can follow but equally if you prefer to create your own design, that's totally fine.

Stephettie
Stephettie

female Women-owned

Stephettie was born from a lifelong love of creativity and connection. I’m Steph - founder, mosaic maker, and your friendly creative guide.
I’ve always believed in the magic of making things with your hands. Like many, I grew up watching Art Attack and covering every surface in glue and glitter. Years later, after more than a decade working in corporate team building, I realised how powerful creativity could be in helping people reconnect, slow down, and rediscover joy, and so Stephettie came to life.
Today, I run hands-on mosaic workshops that are mindful, meaningful, and sustainable. We use salvaged ceramics - old, broken crockery that might otherwise end up in landfill - to create something beautiful and new. Every piece is completely unique, and sometimes even includes a sentimental fragment of someone’s own story.
I love seeing how each person’s creativity unfolds - the “happy accidents, ” the perfect fits, and the proud smiles at the end when everything comes together. My workshops are relaxed, social spaces where people from all walks of life can create, chat, and unwind - whether it’s friends celebrating, hens crafting, or teams bonding.
A portion of every booking goes to Mind, the mental health charity, because I believe creativity and wellbeing go hand in hand.
Come join a Stephettie workshop - connect, create, and make something truly special.
