Felt is defined as "a textile material that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together." In needle felting, felt is formed by repeatedly stabbing a needle into a piece of wool in order to stiffen and mold it into the desired shape. For the first session of this 2-part introductory needle-felting class, Jenny will teach students the basic techniques used to make an owl. In the second session students will learn how to felt over a simple wire armature to make a seahorse.

Since we will be working with sharp needles, participants must have adequate hand-eye coordination. Students must have completed the September 17 class in order to attend the September 24 class.

There will be an additional $12 supply fee payable to the instructor on the first day of class which includes a felting mat and 3 needles that students can keep for future use.

What to bring:
Supply fee: $12 payable to instructor
Sewing pins
Small craft pliers (if available)
Band-aids (just in case)
