Needle Felting | Wool Butterfly Making

Learn to needle felt!
Oh, butterflies! Fluttering bursts of happy colors! In this class, we will be making a butterfly out of wool, using needle felting techniques.

Needle felting is a process where wool fibers are pressed together using long, special needles of different sizes, turning wool into felt. Because of the sharpness of the needles, this class is for students 12+ years old, and guards will be provided. During these three hours we will cut out butterflies from wool felt , “paint” the wings with wool, and shape the body dimensionally. Your butterfly can be turned into a brooch or hung on the walls.

No experience necessary. Ages 12+ welcome.
Materials fee of $5 (cash only) to be paid to the instructor at the start of the class.
