Join textile artist Allanah Sarafian for this new and exciting workshop!

Over two hours, you’ll learn the basics of punch needling, explore a few different stitches, and start your own textural artwork using a pre-traced design.

At the end of the session, you’ll head home with your punch needle, in-progress artwork and all the skills you need to complete it at your own pace.

All materials provided. Bookings are essential.
