Needle Felting Workshops for Secondary Schoolsc(KS3–KS5)
This package can be bespoke to you and the children
With over 15 years of experience teaching Art & Design across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5, I understand curriculum requirements, assessment objectives, and how to engage students of different ages and abilities. As both a practising artist and experienced secondary Art teacher, I design workshops that are creative, purposeful and directly linked to your department's learning goals.
Whether you have a fully developed project in mind or would like a workshop linked to a particular artist, theme, technique or area of study, I can create and deliver a bespoke session tailored specifically to your students.

"Really enjoyed Rebecca’s needle felting workshop today. I’d say what sets Rebecca apart is that as an artist and qualified teacher herself she really brings expertise to the session. There was a lovely balance of explanation, trying it out yourself, guidance and assistance as the picture came together. There were six of us and we were all shocked and proud of what we created.”
