As the days shorten and the mornings become more crisp, let’s create an evocative scene celebrating snow, trees and sky. We’ll use the wet felting and needle felting techniques to depict in wool a classic winter picture. All the required tools and materials will be supplied to you. Demonstration and direct instruction will allow you to create a felting that is ready for framing or to incorporate in a wall hanging. You will learn to embellish your scene with textiles, hand stitching and beading to add layers and depth. No prior experience is required. Experienced artists, artisans and returning students will be able to bring their skill set and experience to the scene as well.

All we’ll need is some wool, a cookie cutter, a felting needle and some embellishments to create some beautiful seasonal decorations for your home or to give as a gift! This is a great introduction to needle felting using a cookie cutter as a guideline, but also a very fun and creative way to spend an afternoon no matter what your prior experience. At the end of the workshop, students will have at least one needle felted decoration, ready to hang or pop in a gift box.
