Needle Felting is one of the oldest forms of textile art and it has recently become more and more popular. The technique involves compacting a ball of unspun wool and creating different shapes using a felting needle tool. The instructor teaches students about various wool materials, how to use the felting instruments and guides them to create felting favorites. The children will learn how to turn wool into 3D shapes, then assemble and embellish those pieces into a hedgehog family and cute gnomes. This class is geared to beginners and intermediate students. All felting materials and tools will be provided. This is an 8-week 1.5 hour after school class.
