New Udemy course – Making a needle felted hedgehog!

I’ve just launched another online needle felting course on Udemy! We’re going to learn how to make cute hedgehogs like this one.

This course is a bit more advanced. It gets deeper into sculpting and creating facial features, as well as creating the “fur” effect and attaching the skin fabric.

As usual, there will be a course giveaway for my followers. Subscribe to my mailing list to get discounts (and even free copies!) of my courses.

Happy felting!

I’ve started running monthly needle felting workshops in Toronto. We needle felt together and make wonderful toys and sculptures from wool. No prior experience needed, you can come and just enjoy the craft, which is very warm and colorful.

Next workshop will take place on October 25th at 7 pm.

Address is 300 Antibes Dr.

Please RSVP at lena@childhoodin.me before coming.
