NEEDLE FELTING WORKSHOPS
|
Felt is made from wool and is one of the oldest textile arts. Needle felting uses a special "barbed" needle and dyed wool to create unique two-dimensional as well as three dimensional works of art. Alyssa Surabian will share her love of needle felting in several one-day workshops this fall at Casa de Linda Art Studio that includes an adorable little kitty cat, a pretty wall hanging and an assortment of Christmas ornaments.
We do want to warn you...once you've tried needle felting, you might just get hooked! |
NEEDLE FELTED WALL CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
- Workshop I: Sunday, Nov . 12, 1:30-5:30 p.m.
- Workshop II: Monday, Nov. 13, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
- Fee: $75 per 4-hour workshop; includes all supplies and use of tools and equipment.
- Description: Once students learn the basics of felting using dyed wool and a barbed needle, they are set free to explore their own creativity and make as many ornaments as time allows. On average students have made 4 to 5 ornaments in a class…just in time for decorating for the holidays or to give as special gifts! May be repeated if desired.
