Twill Felt Flower Workshop at Broadgreen House
Sunday 10-4 on 25 February 2024. Tutor Karuna Peralta.
During this one-day workshop you will be using wool blend felt sheets to make small felt flowers in beautiful colours, shapes and sizes.
Participants will be introduced to a variety of techniques to make different flower styles, including a small rose, sunflower, cosmos, daisy, pom-pom bud and leaves.
The workshop involves a mixture of hand cutting, stitching & glueing techniques. Card templates and some pre-cut shapes will also be provided.
Finished flower stems can be tied into a posy for a small vase arrangement. Loose flowers and leaves can be attached to a mini hoop wreath to decorate your home or to a brooch pin backing to wear on your coat, hat or bag.
Workshop is $120
Materials cost is $20 per person.
Complementary tea, coffee & snacks are available at the workshop. Please bring a packed lunch and water bottle. The Stoke shops/cafés are a short drive away if you need to purchase something.
Class size max 10 people. No previous experience necessary, just a willingness and openness to learn and explore.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
