Kaylyn Gerenz
Experience the magic of needle felting in this family-friendly workshop as we turn fuzzy wool into a miniature felted pumpkin. Learn the basic techniques of needle felting including creating simple felted forms and adding surface design details. For anyone in a ghoulish mood, learn to “carve” your felted pumpkin into a Halloween jack-o-lantern! This two-hour intergenerational workshop is open to everyone. Youth crafters under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
$5 materials fee, payable to the instructor at the time of class, covers all supplies to make one pumpkin.
