Family Pumpkin Felting in the woodland

Service Description

Learn to needle felt in the autumn woodland and create unique pumpkin decorations! Join us in the woodland at Meanwood Valley Urban Farm for a an extra special family crafting session and come away with your own nature-inspired design. Led by local artist, Rhiannon Fuller (Big Pigeon Crafts) you will have the chance to blend your own wool and create unique felted pumpkins to take away with you inspired by the autumn woodland. We’ll provide the materials, tools and teaching. We'll even be using wool from our very own alpacas as Meanwood Valley Urban Farm! This workshop is suitable for those who've never done felting as well as those with some experience. As always, our workshops are safe welcoming spaces. This workshop is specifically designed for parents/ family members to come along and learn to felt along with their children. Please book the number of spaces for the number of people who are felting to ensure we have the correct amount of materials and tools available on the day. If you have younger children you want to bring along but will be not taking part, you are welcome to as long as you are responsible for them. We will have an area set up with some activity books/ colouring etc next to the felting if needed. There is parking available on site, toilets and there are no steps to access the site. To find our woodland, take the path on the left before the epicentre signposted 'exit only' and follow this up to the left until you reach a black gate. Go through the gate and you should see us. There will be shelters if it rains, don't worry! The wonderful Barn Cafe will be open on site for you to purchase food and drink before/ during or after the session.
