A five-week journey into felting & faerie-Making

SNAIL, & NATURE ELEMENTS ONLY

3 weeks · October 30 – November 22, 2026

Join for the three-week Snail and Nature Elements. You'll learn to sculpt your own snail with needle felting and bring it to life with felted toadstools, foliage and other woodland details.

JOIN THE SNAIL ONLY

Beginner’s Welcome!

The Snail class is a playful exploration of the minutia and whimsy of the forest floor, and the art of visual storytelling with felt. Over the course of the class, you’ll create your own snail, using a combination of needle felting and (optionally) wet felting techniques. You will also learn how to felt a variety of toadstools and foliage using wool and silk.

If you join the full class, you will learn how I hand-sew my faeries using natural fibres—dyeing wool locks for hair, embroidering faces, creating tattered wings, and felting or sewing clothing from salvaged antique fabrics.

Materials are not included in the course cost. A resource list will be emailed upon registration, detailing where to find materials in Canada, the US, Australia, and the UK.

Course Structure & Schedule

New lessons will be available every Friday, with an estimated 3–6 hours of recommended work per week. You can move through the lessons at your own pace, as you'll have permanent access to the course. Weekly Zoom meetings will take place on Sundays, where we'll review progress, share work, and I’ll answer questions.

Weeks 1–2: Faeries

We'll begin by creating a hand-sewn faerie (or several!) using natural fibres, salvaged fabrics and wool locks. You'll be guided through each stage, from constructing the body and creating the face to making the wings, hair and clothing. You’ll also learn how to create a sense of story with your faeries.

Weeks 3–5: The Snail & Nature Elements

In week three, you will learn different techniques for creating snail shells and bodies. In the final two weeks of class, you will create a mossy base and learn a variety of felted toadstools and foliage to create a scene with.

What’s Included

• 5 weeks of video lessons (3 weeks if only doing the Green Man): Each week includes video lessons along with supporting photos and text to guide you through the project.

• Weekly Zoom meetings: Live Zoom sessions are held on Sundays evenings EDT (New York time), with another meeting time available if needed. These are an opportunity to share your work, ask questions and get guidance as you progress.

**My design for the Faeries may not be sold commercially either. Doll making is a wonderful art form and this workshop is intended to help you build skills and learn techniques that are versatile and can be applied in all sorts of ways in your own doll making and felting.
