Back by popular demand! Cherie Davidson will be teaching the essentials of needle felting, including characteristics of different wools, needles, and the how-tos of basic techniques. You’ll learn to make core structural pieces and how to put them together to make a finished piece. You will create your first wool character (lamb), and a terrific needle holder to take home.
Cost is $85, which includes all supplies needed for the 2 projects (and these supplies are all the basic tools you need to start and continue needle felting with your own great projects).
