Needle felting is fun and therapeutic. Plus, who doesn’t have a little frustration to work through in a creative and positive way these days? In this virtual class with fiber arts instructor Laura Berlage, we will mail you a kit with all the supplies you need (just bring scissors), including hand-dyed wool from her farm’s flock of sheep, needles, critter specific accoutrements, and a foam work surface. Laura will then guide you step-by-step to transform the carded wool into your own adorable critter. Enjoy the process and make your own cute wool friend! You will have enough wool to make a second critter later, offering great practice in your newfound felting skills.

Note: Registration closes two weeks before the class start date so the instructor has time to mail materials.

Students will receive a mailed kit with almost all of the needed materials.
