Join the needle felting craze! Using colorful wool roving, a cookie cutter for a template, and a special needle, learn this special process to create shape and blend color. Students will make a small, felted artwork that can become a patch, pin, hanging ornament, or whatever else you can imagine. This process is perfect for application in future projects, including in work with other fabrics and garments, for mending, or for developing into a more sculptural approach. All supplies included.
