In this heartwarming workshop, you'll learn how to create your very own Festive gonk—a charming hybrid of a gnome and hobgoblin that stands a delightful 20cm tall. This whimsical character will become a treasured addition to your holiday décor, bringing a magical touch of Nordic charm to your home.
Whether you're new to needle felting or have some experience under your belt, this activity is designed to be both enjoyable and achievable. Through our thorough, step-by-step guidance, you'll discover how to transform simple wool fibres into a characterful creation with personality all its own. The tactile nature of felting is remarkably soothing, and many crafters find themselves completely absorbed in the gentle, repetitive motions.
As you progress through the workshop, you'll learn:
  • Essential needle felting techniques
  • How to shape and structure your gonk's body
  • Methods for adding charming details and personal touches
  • Tips for creating the perfect festive finish
By the end of our time together, you'll have mastered the fundamentals of needle felting whilst creating something truly special. Your handcrafted gonk will be ready to take pride of place in your seasonal display, bringing smiles and spreading joy throughout the festive period. This is pure creative pleasure, resulting in an enchanting keepsake that captures the spirit of the season.

Hey, I’m Jane, and I’m obsessed with all things crafty! If it involves glue, yarn, paint, or paper—chances are, I’ve tried it. I started Tea and Crafting back in 2009 as a cosy, welcoming workshop space in Covent Garden because I wanted to share my love of crafting with everyone.
I totally get that life is busy, so I made it my mission to offer fun, relaxed, and totally doable craft workshops—no six-week commitment required! Just pop in, get creative, and walk away with something amazing (even if you think you're “not crafty”).
Fast forward 12 years, and I’m still here, sharing the magic of making alongside a fantastic team of expert crafters. Because honestly? Crafting isn’t just about being good at it—it’s about the joy, the creativity, and that unbeatable feel-good factor. So, come craft with us! ️
