Come create your very own masterpiece while learning to paint with wool. We’ll start with needle-felting your design, building color and textures, and then we’ll finish it off with a steam wet-felt before matting and framing your work. I’ll provide everything you need, including colored fiber, felting needles, foam mats, picture mat and frame, and you bring your love of color and a willingness to learn and create!

No prior painting or needle-felting experience needed. Great for beginners and experienced needle-felters. Suitable for children ages 8 and older with parental supervision also taking the class.

Material fee includes felting mat, felting needles (multi-tool and single needles, frame, frame mat, fiber, and printed resource guide). Students will take home all materials at the end of class and additional supplies may be made available for purchase at the end of class.

Students should come prepared with a smile and a willingness to learn and create. They should also bring an inspiration photo or have access to photos on their phones or tablets. Students are welcome to bring their favorite felting needles, but it is not required.
