16:00 - 19:00 BST (British Summer Time)

Hosted on Zoom by Sallie of the Urban Acres

Sallie is The Urban Acres's founder, designer, and Chief Crafting Officer. The Urban Acres started in 2019, and what began as a "side hustle" soon took off to become a full-time gig as Sallie supplied what felt like the entire world with the creative hobby of Punch Needle 2020. Sallie loves teaching people how to create things using a punch needle, especially since this craft has been meaningful to her. 

Outline of the workshop

The workshop will begin with an introduction to punch needles and a brief history of this technique. Sallie will also discuss how to choose and use the different needles and materials.
