Learn to needle felt while making a cute winter friend! We will use wool roving and felting needles to create three dimensional creatures.

Then, we will learn how to take clean and carded wool roving and sculpt it into our desired shape. By the end of class you’ll have a cute friend or ornament.

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.
