Michelle Hickman (Furzie) — Daily Needlefelting Workshops

We’re delighted to welcome Michelle Hickman back to Stitching 4 All. The renowned needlefelt sculpture artist and author returns with her sell-out, hands-on workshops every day—ideal for curious beginners and confident makers alike.

Over the past decade, Michelle has earned global recognition for her characterful wool sculptures, taught 2,000+ students across the UK, and published Needlefelting: An Illustrated Guide to Creating Characters from Wool with Crowood Press. When she’s not at the show, you’ll find her teaching from her South Somerset studio as “Furzie,” and creating commissions and private party sessions.

Join a workshop to learn essential techniques—building forms, shaping features, and adding personality—to create your own needlefelt character under Michelle’s expert, friendly guidance. Expect clear step-by-step teaching, lots of practical tips, and that magical moment when wool comes to life.

Spaces are limited and go fast. Book your place via the link below, then come say hello, browse her work, and get inspired to try something wonderfully tactile and wildly addictive.
