Class Description

You will have the opportunity to create two or more charming miniature felted woodland animals. You will start with one basic shape and learn how to use a special barbed needle to transform it into a variety of animals such as a mouse, fox, squirrel, or owl. In addition, you will use the wet felting technique to further enhance the shape and firmness of the figure. The finished critter can be turned into a hanging ornament.

Materials
All materials will be provided. A materials fee of $20 is payable to the instructor.
