FAQs
ARE YOUR CLASSES SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN?
This experience is not advised for children due to the use of sharp needles. It is also important to ensure your finished Pumpkins are considered little fabric sculptures and not 'toys', as unsecured wool elements can be a choking hazard for young children (and pets!).
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
A kit full of materials including the wools you'll need, needles, foam mat, and more - all to keep after class! You'll also be invited to enjoy a complimentary sweet treat and alcoholic / non-alcoholic drink.
WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE CLASS?
We will begin with an introduction to your materials and the basic principles of needle felting. Then, taking inspiration from photography of the graceful robin, we will begin to sculpt the initial form using core wool, before adding colour and texture with carded merino wool and silks. Your robin will be ready to take home right away, along with the materials that are yours to keep.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET TO MASTERPEACE?
MasterPeace is a very short walk from Victoria and Sloane Square tube stations. It is also well connected by bus. We are located within the hidden gem that is Eccleston Yards: accessed via Ebury Street and Eccleston Street. Once within the yard, look for our gold 'hamsa' brand logo, to help you find are cosy little studio.
WOULD THIS CLASS BE SUITABLE FOR A PARTY OR TEAM EVENT?
Yes absolutely. We can accommodate groups of up to 24 guests at our studio, or can easily arrange to visit you at your own office or venue. Needle Felting is a lovely activity to do in groups as it's incredibly satisfying even to absolute beginners. Guests can achieve a beautiful result quite quickly, and will leave your experience feeling proud, relaxed, and creatively inspired.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?
Absolutely nothing to bring, just your fine self and your spirit of creative adventure!

For regular classes, you can cancel or reschedule up to 48 hours before your class. Privately booked experiences are non-refundable / re-schedulable as they require us to cancel our pre-existing classes to make space for them. Managers’ discretion will be applied in exceptional circumstances.
WHAT IS NEEDLE FELTING?

Felt welcome and looked after as soon as we arrived. Gorgeous space, fantastic instruction, and it was an unexpected bonus to come away with the tools we needed to keep on crafting. All in all a wonderful experience and I would recommend to anyone. Thank you Zena and team! X

Had an excellent time at MasterPeace’s Christmas Robin bauble making! The instructors were great and helpful, there was canned wine and mince pies, and the class was well paced (1.5hrs). At the end, my fiancé and I each ended up with cute little Robin baubles that look unique from each other but you can still tell what they are!

Andreea - 21 November 2022
It was a lovely experience where I got to try needle felting for the first time. The teacher was so friendly and nice, helped us all along the way. I would absolutely do it again!
Mircea - 21 November 2022
This was my first ever needle felting workshop (didn't even know anything like this existed, to be honest!), and it was absolutely magical! There's a certain therapeutic feel to it, and it's a great way to expand your creativity, even for absolute beginners like me. Zena is fantastic instructor, too. Her attention to details (room setup, choice of music, etc) brought a calm and peaceful vibe to the room, a perfect complement to the activity, and her instructions were spot on and hit the right balance between making the workshop seem easy and stimulating the creative spirit in everyone in the group. Will definitely come back!
