Learn the basics of needle felting and about the varieties of wool  and other fibres available in the UK. Different fibres behave in different ways so Jane can recommend fibres and techniques to achieve the effects desired. Take away your own unique creation and the materials and knowledge to complete anything you have not finished.
Jane needle felts animal portraits and landscapes from a studio overlooking Ullswater drawing inspiration from her surroundings. She processes every stage of her locally-sourced fleeces from sheep to picture including dying. The fibres and techniques Jane uses give a three-dimensional texture which captures the scene in a unique way.
