Needle Felting 101: Jumbo Sushi Project
Tuesday, December 3rd @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$54
In this beginner-friendly felting workshop, professional multimedia artist Risa Culbertson will teach you the fundamentals of needle felting and hard launch your adventure into the world of fiber arts! Risa will focus on two essential felting techniques: needle felting over a form and wool on wool. You’ll have a chance to practice both techniques as you make your own felted jumbo sushi!
Risa will also show you her felting technique that mimics brush strokes so your pieces have a “painted” look. And, once you get the hang of it, you’ll have time to design and construct additional smaller felted items! Each student will take home one completed felting project, as well as a starter kit of needles, fabric, and other felting supplies to use for future projects!
Supplies Needed: None. As part of this class, you will receive one needle felting kit that includes needles, fabric, and other felting supplies to take home.
