ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Come and try Felting for Fun!
A simple art skill, with endless possibilities to explore, learn how to create everything from flat pieces of abstract art, to more complex, 3-dimensional pieces and beyond. Participants will each take home their own felting needle and other materials to continue using their newfound art skill at home!
ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
Sarah Bennett has been needle felting for over a decade and continues to learn new techniques. She specializes in abstract pieces, with a focus on two-dimensional creations. A three-dimensional creature appears every once in a while too. Needle felting is easy to learn but requires a lifetime to master. Sarah hosts a hands-on workshop where all participants go home with their own creation and the tools required to continue needle felting at home.
