Needle Felted Animals

Join the talented fiber artist Mallory Zondag and learn how to sculpt with wool through the art of needle felting during this three hour workshop. You will gain skills in shaping and sculpting wool with the felting tools, blending colors and creating facial features and other forms like wings and ears. Animal design can range from realistic to animated. Materials will be provided to turn your new friend into an ornament or leave it as a standing decoration! All materials are provided and no experience is necessary to participate!

More about Mallory:

Mallory Zondag is a mixed-media fiber artist and artist educator. Her experience with textiles while in art school led her to create both independent and community sculpture through a variety of fiber art mediums. She explores deeply personal and connective universal stories through the meditative and hands-on practices of wet felting, weaving, sculpting, and stitching, seeking to bring the ephemeral into physical being. The growth and decay of the natural world, the duality of discomfort and attraction we feel towards it, and humanity's place within this dichotomy informs her dimensional textures and sculptural pieces.
