Course Description:
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. In this 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!

Materials Provided:
Felting Kit including foam working surface, needles, rubber thimbles, & nine colors of wool.

Items such as pin backs, glue, wire, magnets, earring findings, and tools will be available as well.

Materials Required For Students To Bring:
If you would like to do appliqué work please bring the material or item you would like to appliqué. Fabrics such as polar fleece, wool, flannel, and natural fibers work well, but you are welcome to try with any type of fabric or item, such as bags or winter hats, that can be stabbed with a needle repeatedly.
