Why Does Needle Felted Fuzzies Teach Workshops?

Question: Recently, Kayleigh, the artist behind Needle Felted Fuzzies, was asked why she teaches workshops and classes. Here is what she said:

​

Answer: I understand where this question comes from. People wonder why I would "give away" all of my secrets. If I teach other people to needle felt, then they might not buy the items that I make and sell at shows and through Etsy. 

​

However, I do not see that this is the case. In fact, I have people come to many of my classes because they enjoy the experience. They do not want to take up needle felting as a hobby or a business, but enjoy taking a class now and then, especially if it is making something that they really want to try. 

 

People who attend my workshops gain a better understanding of the process, and therefore can appreciate the time and talent that goes into making some of the more intricate and detailed pieces. 

​

After class, students become fans of my work online and have even asked for kits, commissions, and they have invited me to participate in craft shows. 

​

There is nothing like spending two hours sharing my craft with others. I really enjoy teaching the magical and stress relieving process of needle felting.
