Pumpkin Faces Needle Felting Class
Saturday, September 28, 2019 - Saturday, September 28, 2019
Mansfield, OH
“Take a stab” at needle felting and go home with one of these adorable (comical, scary, jovial) pumpkins! Needle felting is the process of using a single barbed needle to repeatedly jab alpaca/wool fibers causing the fiber to tangle and become compact into flat pieces or three-dimensional sculptures. Limited only by your imagination, each person's pumpkin face will have his/her own personality which makes this class a ton of fun! You will learn techniques to enable you to make other three dimensional figures as well.
Most people can handle this class with no trouble, though we will be learning some advanced techniques. If you wish to start out with an easier version of this class, you might want to try the Pumpkin Needle Felting Class.
All materials are included, felting tools and foam surface to work on are provided for use in class. These items are also available to purchase should you want to do more needle felting at home.
Bring a picture of a celebrity or older person with distinguished features for inspiration!

Witch Felting Class
Saturday, October 26, 2019 - Saturday, October 26, 2019
Mansfield , OH
Create your very own witch in this fun-filled class through a process called needle felting. You will learn step-by-step needle felting skills which will enable you to create other felted projects. You decide whether your witch will be scary or nice, and enjoy the company of other creative people whose witches will all have their own personality.
Needle felting is the process of using a single barbed needle to repeatedly jab alpaca/wool fibers causing the fiber to tangle and become compact into flat pieces or three-dimensional sculptures.
There will be a simple witch design for beginners as well as a design with more advanced techniques (pictured) for those that have some needle felting experience.
All materials are included, felting tools and foam surface to work on are provided for use in class. These items are also available to purchase should you want to do more needle felting at home.
