WOOLLY ORNAMENTS: NEEDLE-FELTING WORKSHOP

Join HCCC and local artist Lucy Carranza to create your own needle-felted ornament and add a handmade touch to your holiday decor!
Needle felting is the process of binding together fiber with a needle to create three-dimensional forms. For millennia, humans have made a variety of home and clothing textiles with wool. The overlapping scale structure of wool not only makes it an exceptional insulator and durable fiber; a bit of agitation creates felted wool. This property allows for a great deal of versatility that can transform wool into garments, toys, and sculptures.
In the workshop, participants will learn the transformative process of needle felting. Create a tree, snowman, or a bird, and personalize it by experimenting with colors. Learn how to create your three-dimensional form and add details. Finish your piece by adding a ribbon loop to turn it into a hanging ornament, door decor, or even a bag charm you can use year-round!
Note: Two sessions are offered. You can choose your preferred date on our website's event page!
