Ever been curious about the wild and wooly world of needle felting? Needle felting is the process of working wool with a special needle that catches the fibers and tangles them, allowing us to mold a shape! In this class you will learn all about the materials and tools involved in needle-felting, along with the foundational techniques required.

The class is scheduled to start April 23, 2-4 pm - we need a few more people to sign up for this fun class.
