About
**This workshop for ages 10-14 will be live streamed via Zoom.**
Join us for a fun hands-on youth craft class over Mid-winter Break! Learn the basics of needle felting, which involves safely using a felting needle to sculpt wool. Make colorful beads and cute critters. Sign up with a friend or make new friends in the class!
This Zoom class will occur over two mornings.
Day One - Tuesday, February 16: Make beads
We will make some felted beads, which will be threaded onto a piece of cord and made into a necklace or keychain. We will learn to make a bead shape and how to add decorative details to the bead.
Day Two - Wednesday, February 17: Make a small needle-felted animal
Learn how to use needle felting to sculpt a small animal of your choice. Starting with a body and head we will learn how to add on legs, feet, ears, tail and other details and characteristics for your chosen animal.
Materials Kit: $15.00 (Includes local delivery only).
The kit will include a small selection of colored wool roving, felting needles in a wood handle, sponge, plus a cord and large needle. These are all the materials you will need for both sessions.
If you register as a participant ordering your own kit, you will need to order a kit online:
