About the program
In this needle felting class, participants will plan, execute, and render an image of their choice as a low relief sculpture, resulting in a unique and personal artwork. All one needs to get started on their felting journey is patience, stamina for small, repetitive hand movements, and a little bit of practice to master basic skills.
This class is suitable for those with some experience with needle felting. All materials will be provided to participants for free. Participants may be required to pick up materials from Lakeshore Arts prior to program start date.
Supported by the Slaight Family Foundation.
