Needle Felting 101: Choose Your Own Spooky Charms
Sunday, October 18th @ 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm
$54
In this Halloween-forward felting workshop, professional multimedia artist Risa Culbertson will teach you the fundamentals of needle felting as you create your own spooky charm trio – perfect for turning into necklaces, pins, or keychains. You will start off by learning the basics as you make a felt eyeball, then move on to a second technique to create either a ghost or tombstone. To finish, you’ll choose your third charm to complete your custom set!
Risa will also walk you through ways to display your pieces and share tips for continuing your felting journey at home. Each student will take home three completed charms, plus a full felting kit with tools, needles, and extra wool to keep creating. This is a perfect class for total beginners or returning felting students with prior experience!
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.
