Special Event

Needle Felt a Loon (Online Course)

Course Overview

Needle felting is fun and therapeutic...and who doesn’t have a little frustration to work through in a creative and positive way these days? In this virtual class with fiber arts instructor Laura Berlage, we will mail you a kit with all the supplies you need (just bring a scissors), including hand-dyed wool from her farm’s flock of sheep, needles, glass eye beads, light wire armature, and a foam work surface. Laura will then guide you step-by-step for transforming the carded wool into your own adorable loon. Great for beginning and intermediate level felters, and no previous experience is required. Enjoy the process and make your own cute wool friend! You will have enough wool to make a second loon later, offering great practice in your newfound felting skills.
