Remove the mystery behind those finely crafted wool forms and learn the amazing art of needle felting. We'll start with a brief history of how in the world this craft developed, learn about the tools and techniques then get to work transforming fuzzy wool balls into beautiful fall leaf forms. We'll explore ways to turn your leaves into coasters, a table runner, place mats or for use in decorating a fall wreath. This is a beginners class, no experience with felting necessary. You'll finish the day with a working knowledge of how to make forms and hopefully an appetite for more.
All materials for your project will be provided and additional materials will be available so you can continue on your needle felting journey!
Ages 16+
