About this Event

Class Description

We need more Borbs!

Whether you’ve held a felting needle before or not, all experience levels are welcome to join this quest! In this workshop, you will be guided by an experienced borb artist through creating a soft and squishable needle-felted bird(species of your choice). Materials and tools to make your project will be provided by your instructor.

The materials fee for this class is $8. If you would like to keep your tools after the workshop, there is an additional $4 restocking fee. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor prefers payments through Venmo, Paypal, and Cashapp; cash is accepted.


Learning Objectives
  • An understanding of the needle felting process
  • Knowledge of needle felting tools
  • Skills to control the density and shape of felted projects
  • and most importantly add to the borb population!
