Needle punching is a form of embroidery similar to rug hooking. Explore the basic technique and tools used to make a textured piece. Be inspired by Amazigh patterns, like the ones on display in our exhibition The Casablanca Art School, to create an outline and then filling it with loops of yarn wool to finish your work.
