Explore the magic of needle felting in a peaceful, floral circular form and take your colorwork skills to a new level. In this class, I’ll show you how to stretch your felt backing onto an embroidery hoop and keep it tight for ease of use and how to transform the beautiful array of hand dyed roving from my farm’s sheep into your own
interpretation of the design. Enough wool of each color will be supplied, so you can work any of the colors on the mandala as suits your taste. Focus will be given to shape creation, color blending, and three-dimensionality. At the end, I’ll offer suggestions for using or mounting your finished piece. Bring your creative spirit and love of wool!

Note: This course takes place over Zoom. Registration closes two weeks prior to the day of the course to give the instructor time to mail materials to students.

Registration for this class closes on September 10th to allow time for mailing your materials.

You will need the following tools for this class:

All students will be mailed a kit containing:

• 2 felting needles
• craft felt backing with transferred design,
• ample wool to make the project such that any color could work in any of the design elements

You will need to supply:

• Foam work surface (or request one from instructor for $6 extra)
• 8-inch embroidery hoop (8-inch size is critical)

A needle felting multi-tool (if desired), or one can be added to the kit for $16—for this project it’s really optional, it is quite possible with a single felting needle.
