Please note: Needle Felting involves using sharp needles in close proximity to your fingers, and while you will be taught safe techniques to avoid injury, there remains a risk of pricking yourself during the felting process. Many felters prefer to forgo hand protection, despite the risks, in favour of finer control, but you are encouraged to please bring hand protection (i.e. leather gloves, thimbles or finger guards) if you wish to have protection while felting. Band-aids and other First Aid options are always available in case of injury and tools will be santitized before and after workshops.
