Intro to Needle Felting
Students will learn how to needle felt and assemble different component parts to make a final creation all your own! This relatively new fiber art has been gaining popularity in the craft world, appealing to both veteran and novice crafters. Needle felting uses special barbed needles to sculpt un-spun wool into three-dimensional objects. After the class students will have their own felted creation, an understanding of how needle felt is done, and the knowledge of how to create and assemble parts into a felt creation of your own at home. Each student will receive a felting needle and enough wool for one animal to finish in class or at home.
