Introduction to Needle Felting
Learn a simple way to felt by shaping natural fibres into a beautiful picture, funky sculpture or cute little animal. Felting needles are barbed tools used for years in commercial factories that have now been adopted by artisans to make "dry" felt--a great medium with limitless possibilities. If you like color, texture and fleece, you don't want to miss this class!
Both flat and sculptural techniques are covered in this workshop as you create an embellished felt bracelet and a three dimensional sculpture.
