This 1.5 hour class will start with the basics of needle felting, and learning the capabilities of 3 different species of wool types: Alpaca, Sheep’s wool and Llama fiber. We will go over the steps involved in order to create your own style or design of the pictured example of a Mountain Bluebird. Students do not need to bring anything as all materials will be provided. A “Starter Kit” is included with the $45 class fee. This kit includes all materials needed to create your picture with plenty of wools to take home to continue another project! No special skills are required as when doing any needle felting pictures your own creativity will show through. Everyone has their own style and this is just a fun new art concept to learn!
