I mostly write and draw/paint and I make jewellery and needle felt on occasion.

Since I collect Japanese tea cups and bowls, I would really like to try my hand at throwing clay on the wheel sometime.

I would also love to take up a few types of sports like hiking, martial arts or volleyball but especially for the last two, I have too irregular of a schedule to really do it properly.

Is felting hard? I wanted to try it but it looks scary.

I guess it depends. It takes some patience and practice to actually get a certain form out of it but nothing a few instruction videos won't fix, I'd say. You'll need different needles as well, there are finer and thicker ones (for different levels of detail) but they are often sold in sets anyway.

As for it being scary: I won't lie and say you never poke your own fingers with a needle. But it's not particularly painful, imo, it's really not bad at all because the needle points are very thing even with the thicker ones. And you learn to avoid it most of the time after a while. It mostly depends on where you place your fingers/where you hold the wool.

There's also wet felting where you don't use any needles again all but that's used for different things like getting bigger flat mats or very simple forms like felt balls etc.

Hope I could help a little.
