Punch needle is one of those crafts that looks complicated but is surprisingly easy to pick up once someone puts a needle in your hand — and incredibly hard to put down once you get going. In this beginner friendly workshop, you'll learn the basics of punch needle and work your way through creating up to two coasters, each one a little textile masterpiece that is wholly created by you.
It's rhythmic, it's relaxing, and by the end of the evening you'll be wondering why you didn't discover this hobby sooner.
