Workshop Information



Description

Discover the joy and ease of creating a finger labyrinth with wool using simple needle felting techniques.  Equipped with a labyrinth pattern of your choosing, you will employ small barbed needles to felt wool onto fabric making a beautiful, durable labyrinth that can fold and fit into a pocket. 

The labyrinth is a great tool for increasing focus, calming the mind, decreasing stress and creating space for peace in your day. This lightweight labyrinth can be with you whenever it's needed.

Aside from learning basic needle felting techniques, we will also discuss how to incorporate labyrinth use in our everyday lives.

You will leave the workshop with the knowledge and supplies necessary to keep working on your labyrinth. No previous experience needed.
