Come and needle felt mushrooms with Karen Storkamp of "I Felt It"!
Needle felting is a craft that involves using a barbed needle to create 3D sculptures or 2D designs out of wool. In this class, you will work with a variety of wool to create fun 3D mushrooms. During this 2 hour class, you will learn about different types of wool used in needle felting, recommendations of where to buy wool, which needles are best for each part of the project, how to avoid breaking needles, and how to create shapes.
Wool is fun and versatile to work with. Each design completed in class will be unique to the person who made it, depending on the color and design choices you make.
The $10 materials fee includes needle felting mat, one needle and wool to use in class as well as an additional amount of wool to make another mushroom at home.
Karen has been needle felting for approximately 9 years, and loves teaching people how fun this art medium is to work with. Wool is so soft and tactile to work with, and this kind of activity is known to be good for brain health. Not only can certain repetitive actions benefit your physical health, but they can also improve your mental health by reducing your stress levels.
