Further Detail
This course will introduce the student to the art of needle felting. We will be making three dimensional animals and learning how to sculpt with wool. Although wet felting is an ancient craft dating back some 8000 years needle felting is a much more recent discovery. This method has many different applications from the covering of tennis balls to fabrics used in space travel. We will be using Scandinavian wool in gorgeous bunny colours.
Skills/Techniques Covered
Level
A course for a range of abilities including beginners.
