Needle felting is a popular fiber craft in which wool fleece is sculpted, using a special barbed needle to stab it into shape. Using a few simple techniques you can create many different pieces from jewelry, embellishments, décor, and ornaments to toys, wool pets, sculptures, and dolls. You can also appliqué the fleece onto your favorite bag, hat, scarf, and other items. Inthis class you will learn a variety of needle felting techniques, create your very own broach, accessory, sculpture, or appliquéd embellishment and go home with all the materials you need to continue felting!

There is an artist in everyone and blown ink is a fun way for anyone to create dynamic and captivating pieces of abstract art. All you have to do is take a deep breath and blow! Have a blast creating twisting forms by blowing ink around on paper and experimenting with resists, colors, canned air, and other techniques. You can even illustrate your blots to create animals, flowers, monsters, and more.
If you have any questions about one of my courses, don’t hesitate to email me. I would love to see you there!
