2D Felted Winter Ornaments

Saturday, December 13, 10am-12pm

Class level: All levels welcome!

Age requirements: 12+ (under 16 should register with an adult)

Teaching artist: Michelle Martin

Class fee: $40

Learn to needle felt cute ornaments using cookie cutters as the template! We will learn about the mechanics of the felting needle and how to use it safely. Then, we will lay out wool roving inside the cookie cutter and felt away. We will finish our ornaments off by adding details with more wool (which is sort of like painting, but with wool). Participants can also embroider or sew beads onto their ornaments.

All materials provided by the instructor, including wool, felting needle, foam mat, ribbon, and cookie cutters.

Bio:
Michelle Martin (she/they) is an informally taught fiber artist living in Madison. They have dabbled in all things fiber art since being handed a drop spindle while in college. These days, they crochet, weave, wet felt, and spin, But their main crative love is needle felting. They love the process of felting and the freedom and creativity it offers. As a teacher, Michelle LOVES to encourage people to play, have fun, and get lost in the process. Helping students let go of “perfect” and that inner voice that says "I'm not artistic" is an absolute joy.
