Hand-Felted Penguin
About Sue

​Further Detail
Your Penguin will be made from fine Scandinavian wool. Sue will show you how to create different poses and expressions to give the penguin character.. Dry felting - or needle felting – is a simple process in which you create 3D shapes using wool and a barbed needle (none of that messy wet wool business!).
Your penguin will be 7”- 8” tall. You will be shown how to produce different effects with a variety of felting needles as well as the best techniques to use for each part of the animal.
