Discover the art of needle felting - sculpting with colorful wool fleece and special felting needles. Learn a bit about the rich history of felt and how it’s made. Step-by-step instructions will guide you in creating a lifelike 3D male Cardinal in bright red wool, complete with wire-supported legs. Each participant will receive a personal felting kit, including needles, a case, and a foam mat, to use in class and take home. All wool fleece needed for your project is included. We’ll work from reference photos and a finished sample Cardinal. No previous experience is necessary.
This class requires focus and repeated fine hand motions. It also works with sharp needles that can pierce skin, so caution is required. Children aged 11 and up are welcome as students, but should be accompanied by a paying adult participant.
