Bird on a Branch

Bird on a Branch | Needle Felting Workshop

With April Cox of Tupelo Acres

Learn to paint with fiber in this introductory needle felting workshop. Needle felting uses barbed needles to sculpt and blend wool fibers into detailed images—no thread or sewing required. In this class, you’ll work on a flat felt sheet to create a 5×7 bird-on-a-branch landscape, building color, texture, and form as you go. This workshop is beginner-friendly and perfect for anyone curious about fiber art or looking for a relaxing, hands-on creative experience. All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with a finished piece ready to display.

April Cox has been on a vibrant journey into the world of fiber arts since 2011, where creativity knows no bounds. What began as a novice farming venture quickly blossomed into a deep passion for felting—both wet and needle felting—allowing her to transform simple fibers into intricate works of art.
