Learn needle felting techniques for creating three different felted art pieces.
Learn the basics of felting in a fun, engaging workshop where at the end, you will have a finished piece of art to take home and enjoy or give as a gift. All materials are provided.
Find out for yourself how learning each needle felting technique will set you off on a path of wanting to do more!
Each session will familiarize us with different techniques and materials!
● In the April session we will make a “Spring Bunny”
Just in time for Easter, learn the basics of needle felting by making this adorable 4”x 3” sweet bunny holding a flower. This is a fairly basic felting project great for beginners.
● In May, Paige will introduce us to creating a “Blue Crab” incorporating different materials
Practice the art of needle felting by sculpting your very own Maryland Blue Crab out of wool. This lil guy is 2” tall and 4” wide.. his claws and back fins are felted with wool while he stands using horseshoe nails showing that a variety of different materials can be incorporated into your felted art!
● In our final session this June apply a new felting technique in order to make a framed “Beach Scene”
Don’t miss out on learning this very unique art form of “Painting with Wool.” In this workshop you will start in a flat piece of felt and create your very own beach scene with various colors of wool using a special felting needle. We will finish by mounting it in a 5×7 frame. (Frame colors may vary)
Feedback from past courses with Paige:
“Paige has an easy style of teaching, creating a relaxing time while we worked. She isn’t fazed when we make mistakes or break a needle, just takes it in stride. A very fun couple of classes!”
“Very fun class! Paige was an excellent teacher and very supportive with her learners. Please invite her to teach another class!”
“A fun small group event. Well organized and easy to follow instructions. Would love to attend more.”
