This angel is a special request! It is challenging, but well worth the work! It has a firmly felted core, but a softly felted dress over the top and beautiful gossamer wings! Julie will have some very special blended wool bats in a variety of colors (first come, first serve). Students of this class should have a basic knowledge of needling, spliting your wool horizontally and vertically and managing the direction of your fiber. Julie Knowlton is a retired teacher and has been needle felting for many years. Julie’s class goals are for students to be successful, happy and have a good time crafting. Julie will provide all materials unless otherwise noted. Feel free to bring your own pen tool if you have one. Choose from morning or evening sessions with Julie, or come for both!

This course is a good refresher for those who haven't sewn for years or for those new at sewing with some basic experience. We will start out with a zippered pouch, a simple tote, and finish with a project of your choice from a pattern.

There are machines in the sewing room that may be used as well. A $10 materials fee is included. Class skips 10/24.
