Needle Felting - Sleepy Owl
Advertisement
Discover the art of needle felting and walk away with a sculpted owl you made with your own hands.
In this beginner-friendly two-hour class, you'll learn the fundamentals of needle felting from scratch — no experience required. Using wool roving and a barbed felting needle, you'll build a three-dimensional owl figure from the inside out, learning how to shape and direct fiber with intention using traditional techniques rooted in centuries of wool-working craft.
This is hands-on from start to finish. You won't just watch - you'll make something real.
What you'll learn:
- How to select and prepare wool roving for sculptural work
- How to build a firm core and shape a figure from the inside out
- How to use your needle with intention to move fiber exactly where you want it
- How to add surface texture, feather detail, and finishing elements like eyes, beak, and ear tufts
- The basics to continue needle felting at home on your own
What to expect: Small class size, expert instruction from AGSEM's Fiber Arts Guild, and all materials provided. Expect to leave with a finished needle-felted owl you sculpted yourself.
Details
- Skill Level: Beginner - no experience required
- Ages: 10 and up (children must be accompanied by a participating adult)
- Duration: 2 hours
