Wool Painting Workshop – Create Handmade Bird Painting with Soft Merino Wool
✨ Wool Painting Workshop – Create Your Own Aotearoa Bird Artwork
Join our wool painting workshop and create a handmade bird artwork using soft, luxurious merino wool.
In this inspiring session, I will gently guide you through the art of needle felting, showing you how to transform delicate fibres into a beautiful, nature-inspired design. You will learn how to layer and blend wool to create texture, depth, and lifelike details — even if you are completely new to felting.
This is more than a workshop…
It’s a calm, creative experience where you can slow down, enjoy the process, and create something truly meaningful with your own hands.
💛 What You Will Experience
• step-by-step guidance in needle felting techniques
• how to shape and refine your bird design with confidence
• blending natural wool colours for a soft, organic effect
• a mindful and relaxing creative atmosphere
✨ Optional Bird Templates (Beginner Friendly)
If you feel unsure about drawing — don’t worry at all 😊
I have prepared a selection of ready-to-use bird templates that you can choose from. They will gently guide your design while still allowing you to explore your own creativity and style.
You can follow a template step by step or use it as inspiration — the choice is completely yours.
This way, everyone can relax and enjoy the process and leave with a beautiful finished artwork ✨
🐦 Your Finished Artwork
By the end of the workshop, you will create your own unique felted bird painting, inspired by the beauty of Aotearoa’s native birdlife.
Each piece is completely one of a kind — a small artwork you can proudly display or gift.
