Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the questions we answer frequently, but if you have more questions, please fill out the form at the bottom.
What art supplies do I need to buy before attending a class?
We provide all the machines and materials. You’ll have a chance to make a finished wall hanging, framed artwork, pin cushion etc. Alternatively, you can use this workshop to make lots of experiments and samples for your project to come.
Do I need to have any experience before taking a class?
When you arrive, Kirke will get you settled and then will run through with you all the samples and the different techniques; explaining you step by step the varied methods. Then you will have the opportunity to make some samples of your chosen techniques. Rest of the evening you can create your designed piece while Kirke will be on hand to assist and help. You will also receive your personal folder with a doodling pad and instruction manual for the different stitches. Making sure that when you go home and look back at your notes you can work independently. This workshop is suitable to anyone interested in needle felting, embroidery and different embellishing techniques. No previous experience necessary.
