Craft Your Own Abstract Wall Hanging: Punch Needle Basics Course (English, Berlin)

Led by textile artist Lillian Morrissey, this beginner-friendly workshop focuses on punch needle basics and simple design with abstract shapes, making it perfect for those new to the craft.

During this relaxed session in Lillian’s cosy Berlin studio, you’ll create a unique 30x54 cm wall hanging using pre-dyed fabric and a selection of vibrant yarns. With easy-to-follow instructions, you’ll design and stitch an abstract composition of simple geometric and organic shapes. After a satisfying day of creative expression you get to take your wall hanging directly home with you.

Whether you’re looking to explore punch needle techniques, unwind with a fun DIY project, or meet new people, this workshop offers the perfect introduction to textile art. With all materials provided, including punch needles, fabric, and yarn, you’ll be ready to start stitching right away—no prior experience necessary.

Ideal for those who want a simpler version of the three-day in-depth workshop, this course skips the design, dying and composition theory, focusing instead on creating something beautiful with just a few shapes and colours on a neutral background. Suitable for anyone over the age of 10, you can also sign up as a family activity.
