A New Chapter for Chicken Run Creations
If you've visited my website before, you may have noticed that things look a little different around here!
Over the past few years, I've been busy creating needle felting tutorials, teaching classes, filming videos, and connecting with fellow felters across several different platforms. While it's been an exciting journey, I realized it was time to bring everything together into one place.
I'm excited to introduce The Needle Felting Classroom - a growing collection of step-by-step tutorials, downloadable patterns, technique lessons, and creative inspiration designed to help you continue building your needle felting skills.
Whether you're just picking up a felting needle for the first time or you've been creating for years, my goal is to make learning enjoyable, approachable, and something you can work through at your own pace.
A Classroom That Continues to Grow
While you'll already find a wide variety of tutorials inside The Needle Felting Classroom, I'm still in the process of adding many of my older classes to the library.
Over the past several years, I've created dozens of tutorials through live classes, workshops, and special projects. My goal is to organize them all into one easy-to-navigate classroom where you can find everything in one place.
Along with bringing those favorite classes into the classroom, I'll also be adding brand-new projects, technique lessons, downloadable patterns, and fresh content on a regular basis.
So if you don't see a project you're hoping for just yet, there's a good chance it's on my list! The classroom is always growing, and I'm excited to continue expanding it with both new creations and some of the older favorites many of you have enjoyed over the years.
Learn With Me Before You Join
If you'd like to see my teaching style before becoming a classroom member, I've created a free Teddy Bear tutorial that you can enjoy right here on my website.
It's a fun little project and a great way to experience how I teach, with every step explained from start to finish.
Whether you're brand new to needle felting or simply curious about the classroom, I hope you'll give it a try.
A Little Different Than Traditional Video Courses
Many of the tutorials you'll find inside The Needle Felting Classroom were originally filmed during my live Facebook classes.
That means you may occasionally hear me chatting with students, answering their questions, or responding to comments as we work through a project together.
I decided to leave those conversations in because they're often filled with helpful tips, common questions, and little pieces of advice that benefit everyone watching. It creates an experience that's much like sitting in the room and felting together.
More Than Just a Classroom
While The Needle Felting Classroom is a big part of what I've been building, there's plenty more to explore around the website.
- You'll also find:
- Free tutorials
- Needle felting tips and techniques
- Finished creations available for purchase
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Blog posts where I'll be sharing what I'm working on, ideas I'm exploring, and the occasional peek into life here at Chicken Run Creations.
My hope is that this website becomes a place you'll enjoy visiting regularly - whether you're looking to learn something new, find inspiration for your next project, or simply follow along with what I'm creating.
Thank You
Whether you've been following Chicken Run Creations for years or you've just discovered my little corner of the internet, thank you for being here.

I hope you'll take a look around, try the free Teddy Bear tutorial, and, if you're ready for more, come join us inside The Needle Felting Classroom.
I'm looking forward to creating with you!
