Storybook Needle Felted Cat at Straight Farmhouse Museum

Join us at Straight Farmhouse Museum in Garden City as we create a whimsical storybook-inspired black cat dressed for the October season with a charming purple hat. Standing about 5 inches tall (not including the hat), this delightful little character is full of old-world charm and is sure to become a favorite piece in your seasonal décor.
During class you'll learn how to build the cat over a wool core, create its seated pose, and add personality through shaping, layering, and sculpting with wool. We'll also make the signature hat that gives this cat its magical storybook look. This workshop is recommended for those with some needle felting experience, as there are many small details involved. However, beginners are absolutely welcome. If you are new to needle felting, we'll help you build the cat during class, and any fine finishing details can easily be completed at home at your own pace.
All materials and tools are provided. Just bring your creativity and enjoy a relaxing afternoon creating a one-of-a-kind handcrafted companion that you'll look forward to displaying year after year.
